Machine Learning tem se tornado um tópico importante no cenário de software atual. Muito do que se vê sobre o assunto ainda está altamente relacionado a uma matemática complicada, algo exclusivamente acadêmico ou relacionado ao tema do momento, Big Data. A proposta desta apresentação é tentar mostrar um pouco além da teoria sobre o assunto. Mostrar como parte de toda a carga conceitual por trás de Machine Learning, tem tornado aplicações ligeiramente mais “inteligentes” e como isso pode ser usado em projetos mais tradicionais do mundo empresarial, sem necessidade de ser uma grande startup, que produz alguns milhões de registros de dados por dia. Nesta palestra, será apresentada uma visão geral sobre o assunto, será mostrado alguns algoritmos e exemplos de aplicações. Além de mostrar um pouco pouco do trabalho que está sendo feito no processo de evolução de um sistema de recomendação e da otimização de processos empresariais através das idéias de Process Mining.

Automatic Door Unit Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Based Attendance Sy...Onyebuchi nosiri
Abstract--Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a smart object tracking and automated data collection solution. It provides a contact less data link, without need for line-of-sight or concerns about harsh or dirty environments that restrict other auto (Identity) ID technologies such as bar codes. RFID is a technology that uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag, called RFID tag or label, attached to an object, through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object. RFID technology which is a matured technology that has been widely deployed by various organizations as part of their automation systems. In this research, an RFID based system has been built in order to produce a time-attendance management system. RFID systems consist of two main components: Transponder (tag) located in the object for identification, and Interrogator (or reader), which allows the data transfer to and from the transponder. This system consists of two main parts which include: the hardware and the software. The hardware consists of the motor unit and the RFID reader. The RFID reader, which is a low-frequency reader, is connected to the host computer via a serial to USB converter cable. The TimeAttendance System (Graphic User Interface) GUI was developed using visual basic.Net. The Time-Attendance Management System provides the functionalities of the overall system such as displaying live ID tags transactions, registering ID, deleting ID, recording attendance and other minor functions. This interface is housed in the host computer.

4D Design at Cranbrook: Projections for a new model of interaction design edu...Carla Diana
What if a design program enabled student work to flow freely from physical manifestations to digital ones, and vice versa? What if there were no set classes, but the directive to students pursue individual passion projects while an ever-evolving, curated collection of visiting designers challenges them with intensive charettes? What if students were selected to build upon one another’s knowledge, rather than rely on professors to deliver a codified body of information?
These questions are part of my current exploration as founder and head of the 4D program at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, a storied institution with a well established tradition in American design education and an ongoing reputation for bleeding edge experimentation. In this talk I’ll discuss a proposed framework for the new 4D Design department which will build on Cranbrook’s unique pedagogy and run as a design laboratory for creative applications of emerging technology. I’ll detail the topics and media that I hope to explore as well as a structure for seeking resources that can students develop a resilient approach to working in an area where a mastery of the medium is a moving target. I’ll look at key milestones as well as metrics for success, acknowledging the considerable challenges that graduate art and design programs face today.
Attendees will ideally come away with questions and new thoughts around the potential of revising and restructuring their own curricula in order to empower the design student of the future.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

1. RFID and the Internet of Things IIT Invited workshop Carla Diana + Jeff Hoefs September 17, 2011
2. What is RFID? Radio-Frequency Identification A technology that assigns a unique id to any ‘tagged’ object. The id can be read wirelessly and mapped to actions. There are a few different technologies that dictate the range at which the tag can be read. On it’s own, RFID is generally a non-secure technology. Active tags vs. Passive tags: Active tags have a power source to extend their range (up to a few km) Passive tags do not have their own power source. They are activated by energy received from the reader.
3. What is NFC? Near Field Communication A subset of RFID that limits the range of communication to within 10 cm. NFC uses the same chips as RFID, but adds a software layer for security and specific applications. 3 modes of NFC: Card Emulation Mode – device emulates credit card Reader Mode – allows device to read passive RFID tags Peer-to-Peer Mode – interaction between 2 active NFC devices
4. Exploring RFID There are many configurations of RFID tags and ways of combining electronic components with RFID circuitry.
7. Oyster Card from Transport for London A standard Oyster card is a blue credit-card-sized stored value card which can hold a variety of single tickets, period tickets and travel permits which must be added to the card prior to travel. It is also a contactless smartcard which passengers must touch onto an electronic reader when entering and leaving the transport system in order to validate it or deduct funds.
8. Quantas “Next generation” check-in The new ground service provides premium Qantas passengers on domestic flights with a smart card-based check-in, as well as electronic bags tags that keeps track of their luggage.
10. Where did my sweater come from? Products from the company Flocks are tagged with a specific animal’s ID number and comes with a certificate. Information provided includes breed, weight, year, place of birth and a picture of the sheep.
12. Embedded tags for pets Animal shelters and animal control centers benefit from using microchip identification products by more quickly and efficiently returning pets to their owners. Microchipping is becoming standard at shelters: many require all outplaced animals to receive a microchip, and provide the service as part of the adoption package.
14. RFID pet door A chip implanted under your pets skin is read by the RFID Pet Door and admits access.
15. Nokia Play 360° A wireless speaker that uses NFC to pair with your phone to send music from your phone to the speaker. Pair with 2 speakers for stereo sound.
17. Google Wallet Google Wallet is an Android application that replaces items physical credit card, coupons and tickets. With an NFC equipped Android device you can use your phone to make payments, redeem coupons, gain entry to events, etc.
18. Zipcar Car Sharing Service RFID driver authentication plus wireless vehicle data monitoring work together to take a complex system and bring it to users in a simple, fool-proof interface. Access to cars can be controlled wirelessly through the central system, while the membership cards function as keys to open any vehicle in its global system.
19. RFID tags to avoid gas leaks The valve basically knows if it is closed or open via a simple mechanism. With an even simpler contact switch, the RFID then sends a “close” or “open” signal. The RFID data also contains things like the Valve ID, which can lead to its location data.
20. WineM home wine inventory Every bottle of wine in it has an RFID tag, with an RFID reader in every cell of the rack. The rack, in turn, connects to an online information shadow service. This service aggregates wine information from the Internet and all of the racks that are connected to it.
22. Fly London store with tagged shoes an RFID reader in the floor identifies the type of shoe a customer tries on, causing the system to project a video of a street scene in London, Tokyo or New York.
23. Tagging clothing Avery Dennison, the pioneer in RFID-based solutions, reports an acceleration in item-level adoption in the apparel industry as companies seek more accurate and efficient solutions from supply chain to point of purchase.
24. Shoe department in Mitsukoshi’s Japan After the computer detects the shoe you can select color (1) and size (2). Ping! Lucky you, the system says: ‘The sales item you want is available. Please ask a salesperson.’
26. Nabaztag Mirror: “Give powers to your objects” Affix RFID Ztamps to everyday objects and show them to Mirror: your bunch of keys will send email to tell someone you’re home, your pills know when you’ve swallowed them, your toys play video clips…
27. Little Tikes Magic Cook Kitchen speaks three languages This kitchen unit is designed with electronic sensors that recognize the make-believe foods that accompany the set and respond affirmably with more than 100 different phrases. The toy is multilingual, able to speak in English, Spanish, or French. Included in the 22-piece set are a grilled cheese sandwich, a chocolate chip cookie, a sauté pan, cups, plates, silverware, and ketchup.
28. XmenHyperscan: game console with collectable cards Six cards are included with the small, light game console, and more can be bought separately in booster packs, much like Yu-Gi-Oh or baseball cards. When scanned into the console, the cards give the player access to game characters and powers, thus providing a physical avatar for a virtual entity.
30. Fragile Site specific installation that took place in a cave in Lacoste, France, in conjunction with the Galerie Blue in Winter 2007. Visitors could place glowing eggs into a wax bowl sculpture in order to change ambient sounds in the room, revealing that each one had a unique identity. Visitors were invited to touch the art and grapple with the emotion of handling fragile objects.
31. Nest A museum installation from the Jepson Center for the Arts in Savannah, Georgia that functioned as “room-sized musical instruments”. Visitors could move objects onto a central sculpture in order to control the sound in the room.
33. Word guru: foreign language vocabulary with everyday objects A language kit includes the vocabulary “guru”–a receptacle for objects with an embedded display and RFID reader–and a series of stickers that correspond to everyday objects such as “pencil”, “camera”, “fork” “napkin”, etc. Placing a tagged object onto the Guru reader will display the word for the object along with a phrase in the foreign language. Cucchiaio. Possoavere un cucchiaio per la miaminestra?
34. Conference social network Each conference attendee receives a small object that contains a reader and a chip. When attendees meet one another, they touch their tokens to one another and collect one another’s IDs. They can associate their IDs with their contact information right away, or later on when they return home.
35. Who’s home? bowl The bowl comes with 4 key tags which correspond to each person in the house. The bowl itself has four compartments with RFID readers embedded within them. When a key is tossed into any of the compartments it updates a list of who’s home to show that the person is there. When a key is removed, the interface shows that the person has left.
36. Smart concierge With this system, a hotel concierge can craft a dining and entertainment plan for a guest and then hand them a series of RFID cards corresponding to each venue. When he scans the cards into his system, he can keep track of where this particular guest has been to create a different plan for the next day. When the guests are out and about they can use their cards with outdoor reader stations to get directions.
37. Wayfinding stick for the visually impaired In this system, RFID tags are embedded on the ground at each street corner. The walking stick has an RFID reader and speaker unit embedded within it. When the end of the stick is tapped against the specially shaped tile on the street corner, the location is announced through the speaker on the stick. If the person inputs a destination at the start of his or her trip, the stick can also provide on-the-spot directions.
38. Medical office ID system Although some doctor’s offices in the US use electronic medical records, many still rely on both paper records and patient chart. In this system, a person’s medical chart has an embedded RFID chip. A reader at the nurse’s station allows him or her to touch the chart to the reader to automatically load the patient’s information on the screen. A patient’s ID card can also hold an RFID chip within it, so that as soon as he or she checks in, the correct records are displayed.
39. Clothing store shopping assistant In this system, tags in the clothing you wear provide initial input for shopping suggestions. The reader knows what you’re already wearing and can suggest similar or matching outfits that you can try on at the store. The system can also keep a database of your past purchases to further understand what will be right for you and what’s available in your size.
40. Airport In the airport, RFID/NFC can be used for things such as check-in, wayfinding, baggage claim, boarding pass, purchasing food and drinks in the terminal and onboard the plane, etc.
http://www.apparel.averydennison.com/about/news-item-level-rfid-adption.asp“Retailers are looking to solve the number one complaint of shoppers ‘You don’t have this item in my size or my color,’ and to improve their overall inventory productivity,” said Shawn Neville, group vice president, Avery Dennison Retail Information Services. "Item-level RFID tagging systems provide retailers with improved inventory visibility, accuracy, loss prevention and operational efficiency, and an improved shopping experience for their consumers.”
