Introduction to Information Retrieval [Hardcover]
Sun, 12/26/2010 - 12:00am
Class-tested and coherent, this groundbreaking new textbook teaches web-era information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. Written from a computer science perspective by three leading experts in the field, it gives an up-to-date treatment of all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections.
Emotional Theories Summary
I recently read an article about research building "empathic" intelligence into machines using an algorithm based on the "Wheel of Emotion" developed by Robert Plutchik's in 1980. (Researcher builds machines that daydream).

CLARION Project Home Page
CLARION is a project investigating fundamental structures of the human mind. In particular, it aims to explore the interaction of implicit and explicit cognition, emphasizing bottom-up learning (i.e., learning that involves acquiring first implicit knwoledge and then acquiring explicit knowledge on its basis). The project is aimed at the synthesis of many interesting intellectual ideas into a coherent model of cognition.

Linking Open Government Data
The Linking Open Government Data (LOGD) project investigates opening and linking government data using Semantic web technologies. We are translating government-related datasets into RDF, linking them to the Web of Data and providing demos and tutorials on mashing up and consuming linked government data.

LIINC Lab - Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing (Columbia)
The Laboratory for Intelligent Imaging and Neural Computing (LIINC) was founded in September 2000 by Paul Sajda. The mission of LIINC is to study fundamental processing strategies and representations used by biological vision systems and apply these to develop artificial vision systems capable of sophisticated and adaptive image and scene analysis. Our laboratory pursues both basic and applied neuroscience research projects, with emphasis in the following:
Emotion Markup Language

Emotion Markup Language
As the web is becoming ubiquitous, interactive, and multimodal, technology needs to deal increasingly with human factors, including emotions. The present draft specification of Emotion Markup Language 1.0 aims to strike a balance between practical applicability and scientific well-foundedness. The language is conceived as a "plug-in" language suitable for use in three different areas: (1) manual annotation of data; (2) automatic recognition of emotion-related states from user behavior; and (3) generation of emotion-related system behavior.

Formal Concept Analysis Homepage
Formal Concept Analysis is a theory of data analysis which identifies conceptual structures among data sets. It was introduced by Rudolf Wille in 1982 and has since then grown rapidly. Three well-established annual international conferences (ICFCA, ICCS and CLA) are dedicated to FCA and related methods. The FCA method of formal data analysis has successfully been applied to many fields, such as medicine and psychology, musicology, linguistic databases, library and information science, software re-engineering, civil engineering, ecology, and others.

TextRunner Search
University of Washington researchers have developed an automated information extraction software engine that mines meaning out of more than 500 million Web pages, contributed by Google, by analyzing fundamental relationships between words. The project expands the scale of the TextRunner application in terms of the number of pages and the breadth of topics it can examine.

Visual Dictionary of English - Teaching computers to recognize objects
We present a visualization of all the nouns in the English language arranged by semantic meaning. Each of the tiles in the mosaic is an arithmetic average of images relating to one of 53,464 nouns. The images for each word were obtained using Google's Image Search and other engines. A total of 7,527,697 images were used, each tile being the average of 140 images. The average reveals the dominant visual characteristics of each word. For some, the average turns out to be a recognizable image; for others the average is a colored blob.

The Future of Meetings
Tomorrow, meetings will mix real meetings in smart meeting rooms with virtual meetings, to provide the best of both worlds. When we are preparing for a meeting, we will review the meeting synopsis of related meetings in which we have participated, or maybe some we missed. As participants interact with one another, sensors in the environment will capture and networks will transmit raw media.

Read the Web"
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers are developing the Never-Ending Language Learning (NELL) system, a computer that can master semantics by learning more like a human. NELL was provided with basic knowledge in various categories and connected to the Web with a mission to teach itself. "For all the advances in computer science, we still don't have a computer that can learn as humans do, cumulatively, over the long term," says CMU professor Tom M. Mitchell.
