Spring 2009 in Recognition of His Outstanding Students Who Yahoo! Believes Are Doing Research in Very Performance in Academics and Research
University of Massachusetts Amherst Spring / Summer 2009 Significant Newsletter of the Department of Computer Science BITS Representation Discovery: A new frontier of CS research epresentations are at the heart of computer science. To manipu- late data in software, information must fi rst be converted into Ra digital form. Finding a good representation for the converted data can make an enormous difference to the effi ciency with which the data is processed and stored. Fueled by the remarkable growth in sensing and storage technology, digital data has proliferated greatly in diversity and size: examples range the gamut from digital movies and music, personal image galleries, problem-solving and sensor traces from autonomous decision-making programs and physically embodied devices such as robots and sensor networks, and collaboration graphs representing scientifi c and social networks. “This explosion in high- dimensional data makes it imperative to fi nd effi cient algorithms for extracting low-dimensional regularities,” says Associate Professor Srid- har Mahadevan, co-director of the Autonomous Learning Laboratory. Representation discovery fi nds a new set of “features” Throughout human history, the development of new representations (or basis functions) for describing digital datasets, by harmonic analysis of the nonlinear geometry of the has had lasting signifi cance. To take a simple example, consider the space spanned by the data. problem of representing numbers: 4, IV, 1111, and 100 all denote the number “four” using a different basis (base 10, Roman, unary or base 1, and binary or base 2). Positional representations, such as base 10 and base 2, are widely used in science and technology. -
Appendix D 1 of 90 SIGACCESS FY'06 Annual Report July 2005
Appendix D SIGACCESS FY’06 Annual Report July 2005 - June 2006 Submitted by: Vicki L. Hanson, SIGACCESS Chair This has been an important year of growth for SIGACCESS. The ASSETS conference attracted the largest number of attendees in the conference history and membership in SIGACCESS has been growing. We have worked to get a Special Issue of an ACM journal devoted to Web Accessibility and have expanded dissemination of research and events in the field through our newsletter and website, as well and through partnerships in key activities. 2005 Business Meeting A SIGACCESS Business Meeting was held at the ASSETS conference in October, 2005. The meeting was well attended. Attendees were updated on SIG activities and discussed activities that the SIG should consider. There was a general consensus that a focus on training young researchers in the area was important. To meet that goal, student activities at ASSETS were encouraged. In particular, it was agreed that it would be of interest to have on ACM Research Competition event at the 2006 conference. In addition, there was considerable interest in having an ACM quality journal on the topic of accessibility. ASSETS Conference Updates The highlight of our year was the ASSETS conference. ASSETS’05, held in Baltimore, Maryland, was the first time the conference had been held on an annual basis. Surpassing expectations, not only were there sufficient submissions to provide excellent technical sessions, but conference attendance was the highest in ASSETS history. We were encouraged with this success and look forward to ASSETS’06 in Portland, Oregon, October 23 – 25. -
