January 2009. University of Pennsylvania Department of Computer and Information Science Technical Report No. MS-CIS-09-07 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/cis_reports/902 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Learning From Ambiguously Labeled Images Abstract In many image and video collections, we have access only to partially labeled data. For example, personal photo collections often contain several faces per image and a caption that only specifies who is in the picture, but not which name matches which face. Similarly, movie screenplays can tell us who is in the scene, but not when and where they are on the screen. We formulate the learning problem in this setting as partially-supervised multiclass classification where each instance is labeled ambiguously with more than one label. We show theoretically that effective learning is possible under reasonable assumptions even when all the data is weakly labeled. Motivated by the analysis, we propose a general convex learning formulation based on minimization of a surrogate loss appropriate for the ambiguous label setting. We apply our framework to identifying faces culled from web news sources and to naming characters in TV series and movies.

It ends in a cliffhanger and I wish she would have kept the story going or ended the book where Piper gets home to her parents instead of Evan taking her.

    "Man of Science, Man of Faith:" Lost, Consumer Agency and the Fate

    "Man of Science, Man of Faith:" Lost, Consumer Agency and the Fate/Free Will Binary in the Post-9/tt Context Susan Tkachuk Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for Intersdisciplinary Master of Arts in Popular Culture Brock University © Susan Tkachuk, June 2009 Abstract In 2004, Lost debuted on ABC and quickly became a cultural phenomenon. Its postmodem take on the classic Robinson Crusoe desert island scenario gestures to a variety of different issues circulating within the post-9II1 cultural consciousness, such as terrorism, leadership, anxieties involving air travel, torture, and globalization. Lost's complex interwoven flashback and flash-forward narrative structure encourages spectators to creatively hypothesize solutions to the central mysteries of the narrative, while also thematically addressing archetypal questions of freedom of choice versus fate. Through an examination of the narrative structure, the significance of technological shifts in television, and fan cultures in Lost, this thesis discusses the tenuous notion of consumer agency within the current cultural context. Furthermore, I also explore these issues in relation to the wider historical post-9III context. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I offer my thanks to my supervisor, Scott Henderson, whose guidance and sense of humour were invaluable throughout work on this project. When I began work on this thesis, I found its scope intimidating and difficult to distill into a cohesive, properly structured thesis, and Scott was irreplaceable in helping me achieve this. He was an endless source of ideas, and our meetings were so light-hearted and entertaining, I never felt like we were even doing work. I also thank my parents, Bruce and Kathy, for their enthusiastic support of my education.

Mulher, negra, próxima dos 60 anos, acima do peso, Rose está na intersecção de uma série de grupos minoritários, e sua presença na tela incorre na sobreposição de estereótipos pouco comuns na série.

    Sawyer, Self-Proclaimed Outlaw and Former Conman, Is Being Suspected

    1 Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg EPG II: 9/11 and the War on Terror Sommersemester 2008 9. Fachsemester EPG II essay by Philipp Fidler Challenging Utilitarianism The Depiction of Torture in LOST Torture is a recurring motif in LOST and is introduced very early on in the series: Episode 8 (“Confidence Man”) of the first season contains the first scene of physical torture. This is the scene I will base this essay on because as the first instance of torture it serves as a cornerstone for the handling of any such scenes following it. Secondly, the “formula” and means of legitimization used in this scene are almost identical to later portrayals of torture. As I will outline in this essay, torture in LOST is largely based on utilitarian thoughts, specifically the Greatest Happiness Principle with emphasis on a particular limitation of this principle made by John Stuart Mill. Furthermore, it is my belief that torture as portrayed in the series reflects certain practices used by the Bush administration in the War on Terror and their repercussions on a global scale. To support this interpretation, I will compare the sociological situation presented in LOST to the state of real life, post-9/11. The pilot episode of LOST was aired on September 22, 2004, on the US network ABC. Incidentally, this is the very day the events of this first episode are set. Immaterial as this may seem, this is of more than minor importance to this essay: It is safe to assume that each of the characters in the series have, in their fictional biographies, experienced of 9/11 and its aftermath.
