Higher ed has a problem with its websites. Many of us are past that first big hump of "The Millennial Redesign." We've plopped down money on a shiny new CMS. Our design is hip and groovy. But an issue snuck in when we weren't looking. Centerpieces have become a staple component of the ever important home page. The problem is that they have homogenized us. We're all doing it, and we're all doing it the same, and pretty much everyone does it badly. This presentation will look at a number of sites and their centerpieces, look at common themes, address why our current trend is a problem, and make suggestions as to where we can go and what we can do to stand out and differentiate ourselves.

La autora describe su experiencia enseñando a su abuela Ana Castillo, de 86 años, a usar la tecnología como una forma de comunicarse con sus hijos y nietos que viven lejos. A pesar de las dudas iniciales sobre si su abuela podría aprender, Ana mostró un gran interés y esfuerzo, aprendiendo rápidamente a usar aplicaciones como Skype para realizar videollamadas. Tras varias lecciones y práctica, la autora tuvo la sorpresa de ver a su abuela realizar independientemente su primera videollamada, demostr

Ex-Microsoft engineers built the Dolphin browser for Android out of frustration with mobile browsers. Dolphin launched several innovations, including gesture controls in 2010 and voice assistance in 2012. By 2012, Dolphin had over 50 million users and partnerships with major carriers. Mobile platforms like smartphones and tablets have disrupted many industries as Facebook reached over 1 billion mobile users by 2014 and ride-sharing apps destroyed the taxi industry. To make mobile a friend rather than enemy, businesses must understand that many users now primarily access the internet via mobile devices and leverage mobile's expanded capabilities.

This document discusses systems thinking and improving systems. It notes that optimizing individual parts of a system can sub-optimize the whole system, and instead the interactions between parts and optimizing the whole system should be the goal. It provides an example of improving a car by optimizing the overall performance and interactions between parts rather than just individual parts. The document recommends taking a "bird's eye view" and thinking about resources and the big team to understand a system as a whole.
School of Fish: The MSC End of Term Report on sustainable fish in schools 2015Marine Stewardship Council
This document summarizes a report on the impact of the UK School Food Plan on sourcing sustainable fish in primary schools. The key points are:
1) There has been an 18% increase in the number of schools certified by the Marine Stewardship Council's sustainable seafood program, with 572 new schools joining.
2) The South East region saw the largest growth, adding 209 newly certified schools.
3) While progress has been made, with one in six primary schools now serving certified sustainable fish, much remains to be done as the majority of schools still do not provide information on the sustainability of their seafood.
SuMo-SS: Submodular Optimization Sensor Scattering for Deploying Sensor Netwo...Komei Sugiura
The document presents a method called Submodular Optimization Sensor Scattering (SuMo-SS) for deploying sensors from drones to maximize information gain. The sensor scattering problem is NP-hard due to combinatorial explosion. SuMo-SS handles uncertainty in sensor positions and does not suffer from combinatorial explosion, providing a (1-1/e)-approximation guarantee. Simulation results show SuMo-SS obtained larger mutual information than baseline and random selection methods for sensor deployment from drones.

The document proposes a novel spatio-temporal pseudo relevance feedback approach for scientific data retrieval. It uses Space-Time-Text (STT) information from the top retrieved results to expand the initial query. An evaluation on a test collection showed the STT approach improved recall, average precision, and number of hits compared to baselines, demonstrating its effectiveness especially for datasets with limited textual metadata. The method could potentially be applied to retrieve heterogeneous scientific and sensor data from large repositories.

20160221statistic imitation learning and human-robot communicationKomei Sugiura
1) The document discusses various methods for imitation learning, including dynamic motion primitives (DMP), recurrent neural networks (RNNPB), Gaussian processes, Gaussian mixture regression, and hidden Markov models (HMMs).
2) It presents a method for imitation learning of object manipulation using reference-point-dependent HMMs, which estimates a reference point and coordinate system to cluster object trajectories.
3) The document demonstrates trajectory HMMs for imitating both motions and speech, generating maximum likelihood trajectories from learned HMM parameters and observation probability density functions (OPDFs).
Cloud Robotics for Human-Robot DialoguesKomei Sugiura
This document discusses cloud robotics platforms for human-robot dialogues. It introduces Rospeex, a cloud robotics platform developed by NICT for multilingual dialogues. Rospeex has over 30,000 unique users and achieves state-of-the-art performance in speech recognition. The document also discusses NICT's work building domestic service robots through the RoboCup@Home competition, and their research using machine learning to better predict air pollution and reduce its social costs.
Language acquisition framework for robots: From grounded language acquisition...Komei Sugiura
The document describes a language acquisition framework called LCore that enables robots to understand language in a grounded and situated manner. LCore uses multimodal learning including vision, motion, speech recognition and context to understand language. It allows robots to learn words and their meanings based on visual features, learn object manipulation skills through imitation learning, and reduce errors in language understanding through techniques like active learning and confirmation dialogs.
rospeex: a cloud-based speech communication toolkit for ROSKomei Sugiura
- rospeex is a cloud-based speech communication toolkit that is compatible with ROS, the Robot Operating System. It provides speech recognition using the VoiceTra engine and other functionalities like noise reduction and non-monologue speech synthesis.
- rospeex is positioned in cloud robotics as it is cloud-based, incompatible with commercial systems but compatible with robot middleware, and supports multiple languages for speech recognition and synthesis unlike conventional packages.
- rospeex allows for quadrilingual communication and provides speech recognition and synthesis services while the user constructs their own dialogue processing for the application.
The document discusses RoboCup@Home, a competition for domestic service robots that focuses on human-robot interaction and mobile manipulation. It describes some of the standardized tasks robots must complete, including delivering drinks in a cocktail party setting and retrieving objects in an unknown environment like a restaurant. The document also discusses challenges like navigation, manipulation of everyday objects, and interacting with humans in noisy environments. Finally, it provides examples of how imitation learning and learning unknown words could help robots perform household activities.
