Performativity\, Ideologies of Liveness\, and Listener-Consciousness in Electronic-Music Performance Mark Butler/University of Pennsylvania Speaker'\;s abstract\: In DJ sets and laptop performances\, an unprecedented level of technological mediation comes into conflict with the expected “liveness” of performance. As a result\, musicians frequently express various techno-performative anxieties in explanations of their performance approaches. In particular\, they are concerned that the audience experiences a performance\, one that is imbued with a sense of live presence\, rather than simply the playback of a recording or the clicking of a mouse. They work to convey this “presence” in a number of ways\, which include dancing\, other significant physical gestures\, and the use of carefully selected electronic hardware. The audience responds in kind\, thereby completing the liveness of the event. My talk will address these issues in both theoretical and analytical terms\, drawing material for discussion from interviews and field recordings made in Berlin in 2005–2007...

February 2007 rolled around and ShmooCon was just around the corner. Come hear the tale of how John hacked together a winning hacker arcade entry in just 4 weeks and got it through TSA without being sent to Gitmo.

She writes music and creates sound art using whatever tools are available\, from found objects to string quartets. She creates and builds her own electronic instrumnets\; plays theremin\, computer\, piano\, found objects and sculptures. She also makes interactive sound and video installations using various spatially oriented triggering devices and surveillance equipment... Mem1 is an electroacoustic hybrid that seamlessly blends the sounds of cello and electronics to create an original and cohesive performance...

There are firms though\, such as Apple\, Bang & Olufsen\, Alessi\, and Artemide that pur- sue a more radical approach\, via Design-Driven Innovation. Rather than starting from user needs and then design and develop the product\, they propose radically new visions and meanings that initially confound users but then even convert them. Roberto Verganti\, a Professor from Management of Innovation at Po- litecnico di Milano and currently a visiting Professor at Harvard Business School\, will present results from his research (which has been awarded the\\"Compasso d'\;oro\\"\, the most prestigious design award in Italy) on design driven innovation. 5\:10-6\:10 PM

We present examples in which we integrate the development of a theoretical model with the construction of an experimental system. We also discuss the implications of synthetic gene networks for biotechnology\, biomedicine and biocomputing. In addition\, we present integrated computational-experimental approaches that enable construction of first-order quantitative models of gene-protein regulatory networks using only steady-state expression measurements and no prior information on the network structure or function.

Seminar - Ray Tracing DESCRIPTION:\\"Fast and Robust Ray Tracing of General Implicits on the GPU\\" Aaron Knoll\, SCI Institute\, University of Utah In this paper\, we present a new stackless ray traversal algorithm optimized for modern graphics hardware\, and a correct inclusion-preserving reduced affine arithmetic (RAA) suitable for fragment shader languages. Shader metaprogramming allows for immediate and automatic generation of functions and their interval or affine extensions\, enhancing user interaction. Ray tracing lends itself to multi-bounce effects\, such as shadows and depth peeling\, which are useful modalities for visualizing complicated implicit functions. With this system\, we are able to render even complex implicits correctly\, in real-time at high resolution.

Answering this question will impact how we build computer systems to assist\, represent or interact with people in interactions with other agents such as negotiations and resource allocation. We identify four reasoning patterns that agents might use\: choosing an action for its direct effect on the agent'\;s utility\, attempting to manipulate another agent\, signalling information to another agent that the first agent knows\, or revealing or hiding information from another agent that the first agent itself does not know. We present criteria that characterize each reasoning pattern as a pattern of paths in a multi-agent influence diagram\, a graphical representation of games. We define a class of strategies in which agents do not make unmotivated distinctions\, and show that if we assume all agents play these kinds of strategies\, our categorization of reasoning patterns is complete and captures all situations in which an agent has reason to make a decision.

The responsibility for negotiating critical deals or contracts with landlords\, equipment leases\, vendors\, suppliers\, and clients lies personally and daily on a small business owner’s shoulders. The consequences of their negotiation skills today may dictate a business’ financial success or failure in the long term. This three part series is designed as an overview of successful negotiation strategies specifically with the small business owner in mind (although it would be practical for anyone). Using role play exercises\, lecture and Q&A\, emphasis is placed on collaborative techniques in situations that would be “real” to a start up or established small business owner/manager. Attendees will learn a generalized framework to continue to develop their negotiating skills outside of the seminar\, as well as understand real life and practical suggestions for business situations they might face every day.

MayBMS is based on a clean yet expressive query language that captures many important use cases of probabilistic databases\, including what-if queries and the conditioning of databases using new evidence. MayBMS employs a carefully designed succinct representation system for probabilistic databases called U-relations\, which nicely unifies various approaches to representing uncertain data\, such as c-tables\, relational\, in particular vertical\, decomposition\, and probabilistic graphical models. U-relations allow for the natural reuse of mature relational storage\, indexing and query processing techniques to build scalable probabilistic database systems...

A SWOT is the process of carefully inspecting the business and its environment through the various dimensions of Strengths\, Weaknesses\, Opportunities\, and Threats. Conducting a SWOT is a way to organize information and assign probabilities to potential events – both good and bad – as the basis for developing business strategy and operational plans. Strategic analysis is presented in this seminar as a five-step methodical process that will help to organize information and aid in planning. By applying management by objectives techniques\, you will learn how to establish specific goals and objectives\, which you commit to achieving. Through the process of strategic analysis\, you will also learn the need to consider when outcomes start to differ from expectations. This process is referred to at management by exception. When outcomes differ\, you must establish new strategies to deal with the change. By combining management by objectives and management by exception techniques\, you will be able to develop an effective strategic plan for your company.

The thread starts with the Programmer'\;s Apprentice project\, continues with the development of SharedPlan discourse theory and its implementation in Collagen\, and most recently includes task-based user interfaces and human-robot interaction. Our research reflects many important AI themes and issues over this period\, such as knowledge representation and reasoning\, planning and intent recognition\, learning\, and the interplay of human theory and computer engineering. I will conclude by describing in detail our recent work on DiamondHelp\, a generic task guidance system\, including a live demonstration. In Part 2\, on Thursday\, Feb 7th\, Candy Sidner (BAE Systems AIT) will describe our recent work on engagement and collaboration in human-robot interaction.

Colloquium - How to be an Engaging Robot DESCRIPTION:\\"Robots and People Collaborating\: How to be an Engaging Robot\\"Candy Sidner\, BAE Systems AIT When people collaborate\, in addition to using language to talk to one another\, they also employ a variety of verbal and non-verbal means to initiate\, maintain and end their interactions. In face-to-face interaction\, this process of \\"engagement\\" often occurs through gestures. In this talk I will describe the engagement process\, especially how people maintain engagement through mutual looking and conversational nodding. I will report on studies of people collaborating with a robot and show several videos of these interactions. Finally\, I will discuss recent research on initiating engagement\, and show videos of two different robots finding and engaging a person.

Kanellakis Memorial Lecture - Parallel Programming DESCRIPTION:\\"A hardware-design inspired methodology for parallel programming\\"Arvind\, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory\, MIT One source of weaknesses in parallel programming has been the lack of compositionality\; independently written parallel libraries and packages don'\;t compose very well. We will argue that perhaps traditional procedural abstraction and abstract data types don'\;t capture the essential differences between parallel and sequential programming. We will present a different notion of modules\, based on guarded atomic actions\, and view it as a resource to be shared concurrently by other modules. As opposed to implicitly or explicitly specifying parallelism in a program\, we think of parallel programming as a process of synthesis from a set of modules with proper interfaces and composition rules. We will draw connections between this hardware-design inspired methodology and traditional approaches to multithreaded parallelism including programming based on transactions.

You’ll never guess where it is… Beacon Hill in the shiny-new Sunbelt city of Dallas? There is a neighborhood just like it! Andrew Schiller\, founder of Woonsocket-based Location Inc./NeighborhoodScout.com\, a nationwide neighborhood search engine for home buyers and movers with 1.8 million unique visitors last year\, will be talking about their patented search technology that answers the first question most home buyers have\: “where should I focus my house hunt?”. The audience will try the algorithm by ‘building their ideal neighborhood’ on the site\, and finding the local neighborhood that best matches the ideal imaginary one. A sneak peak at NeighborhoodScout v2 will reveal flash-based maps\, data mining that has produced new levels of granularity for neighborhood crime\, appreciation rate\, and school ratings\, and ‘smart search’ taken to a new level. Andrew will be joined by Andy Couture\, VP of Business Development for the company.

Colloquium - Discrete curvature and shape operators DESCRIPTION:\\"Discrete Curvature for Physically-based Simulation and Shape Modeling\\"Denis Zorin\, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences New York UniversityDiscrete curvature and shape operators\, which capture complete information about directional curvatures at a point\, are essential in a variety of applications\: simulation of deformable surfaces (bending forces are determined by curvature)\, variational modeling and geometric data processing. In many of these applications\, objects are represented by meshes. Solving mesh evolution or optimization problems involving discrete curvature may be expensive\, as the dependence of discrete curvature on the vertex position is complex and highly nonlinear. The quality of the results and computational efficiency is greatly influenced by the choice of curvature discretization. I will discuss mathematical tools for evaluating discretization quality and increasing discretization efficiency and their use in the context of physically-based simulation and geometric modeling...

Colloquium - Developments in Holographic Algorithms DESCRIPTION:\\"Developments in Holographic Algorithms\\"Jin-Yi Cai\, University of Wisconsin - Madison and Radcliffe Institute\, Harvard University Valiant'\;s theory of holographic algorithms is a new design method to produce polynomial time algorithms. Information is represented in a superposition of linear vectors in a holographic mix. This mixture creates the possibility for exponential sized cancellations of fragments of local computations. The underlying computation is done by invoking the Fisher-Kasteleyn-Temperley method for counting perfect matchings for planar graphs\, which uses Pfaffians and runs in polynomial time. In this way some seemingly exponential time computations can be done in polynomial time\, and some minor variations of the problems are known to be NP-hard or #P-hard. Holographic algorithms challenge our conception of what polynomial time computations can do\, in view of the P vs. NP question.

Colloquium - Data-driven grasping and manipulation DESCRIPTION:\\"Data-driven grasping and manipulation\\"Nancy Pollard\, Carnegie Mellon UniversityData captured from human performances of activities ranging from the everyday through the extraordinary has become widely accessible over the past 10 years. The ability to download or capture human motion and process it in real-time has led to many new algorithms and new ways of thinking about character animation and robot control. However\, we do not yet know how to make the most effective use of this data. What is important about a given performance? How can it be modified to create realistic new scenarios? And what are the limits of this approach.can we ever create behavior that could be called dexterous from a collection of observed performances? In this talk\, I will focus on the problem of creating dexterous grasping and manipulation behaviors from observed performances. I will discuss how my ideas have changed over the past decade\, as we have gone from the idea that a grasp is made up of contact points between the hand and object through consideration of the hand geometry\, anatomical constraints\, and dynamic properties to the observation that grasps often involve preparatory sensing and manipulation actions which we have shown can reduce the effort needed to acquire an object. Results in computer animation and robot control\, as well as results from controlled human subjects experiments will be presented.

UIA uses \\"personal names\\" rather than traditional global names as handles for accessing personal devices remotely. Users assign these personal names via an ad hoc device introduction process requiring no central allocation. Once assigned\, personal names bind securely to the global identities of their target devices independent of network location. Each user manages one namespace\, shared among all the user'\;s devices and always available on each device. Users can also name other users to share resources with trusted acquaintances. Devices with naming relationships automatically arrange connectivity when possible\, both in ad hoc networks and using global infrastructure when available. We built a prototype implementation of UIA that demonstrates the utility and feasibility of these design principles. The prototype includes an overlay routing layer that leverages the user'\;s social network to provide robust connectivity in spite of network failures and asymmetries such as NATs\, a new transport protocol implementing a novel stream abstraction that more effectively supports the highly parallelized and media-oriented applications demanded on mobile devices\, and a flexible security framework based on proof-carrying authorization (PCA) that provides \\"plug-in\\" interoperability with existing secure naming and authentication systems.

In this two part talk I shall first describe a combination of image and geometric processing algorithms to efficiently reconstruct spatially realistic structural models of target proteins\, that are culpable in the spread of viral infections. Next\, I shall introduce a new class of algebraic surface spline finite elements\, and the use of irregular fast Fourier estimation methods in the very rapid computation of protein binding energetics\, essential for drug screening analysis and discovery.

I will first present our work on designing and building PRISM\, a scalable monitoring service that makes precision a first-class abstraction. PRISM quantifies (im)precision along a three-dimensional vector\: arithmetic imprecision (AI) and temporal imprecision (TI) balance precision against monitoring overhead while network imprecision (NI) addresses the challenge of providing consistency guarantees despite failures. Then\, I will describe how our implementation addresses the challenge of providing these metrics while scaling to a large number of nodes and attributes. Finally\, I will demonstrate how the unified precision abstraction enables new monitoring applications by presenting experiences from three applications we have built.

These data reveal the incredible diversity and heterogeneity in naturally occurring marine microbial populations. Over 6 million proteins are predicted in the GOS data. Besides nearly doubling the number of current proteins\, the GOS proteins add a great amount of diversity to known protein families and shed light on their evolution. The GOS proteins cover nearly all known prokaryotic protein families. In addition\, a large number of novel protein families are also predicted from these data. Several protein domains that were previously categorized as kingdom-specific\, have GOS examples in other kingdoms. Our analysis indicates that we are still far from discovering all protein families that exist in nature.

In the first project\, I show how to extend the original NMF approach to learning meaningful \\"audio parts\\" from speech and audio data. The audio parts robustly encode harmonic structures in the voices\, which are key acoustic features for building machines that can analyze complicated acoustic signals as well as human listeners. In the second project\, I investigate how to incorporate supervisory information like class labels in LDA models. In the supervised LDA\, topics are discovered by grouping words based on not only semantic similarity but also class label proximity. These topics yield compact representation with better predictive powers than those derived from the original unsupervised LDA...

The ultimate goal is to exploit human variability to find genetic causes for multi-factorial diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Recent technology improvement enables the typing of millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for a large number of individuals. Consequently\, there is a great need for efficient and accurate computational tools for rigorous and powerful analysis of these data. In my talk I am going to concentrate on two computational problems\, which are an essential step in studying the data obtained by this technology\: Accurate and efficient significance testing with a correction for population stratification and estimating local ancestries in admixed populations.

We show that selection on these motifs operates across the genome\, maintaining an over-representation of -10 motifs in regulatory sequences while eliminating them from the nonfunctional and\, in most cases\, from the protein coding regions. In some genomes\, however\, -10 sites are over-represented in the coding sequences\; these sites could induce pauses effecting regulatory roles throughout the length of a transcriptional unit. For nonfunctional sequences\, the extent of motif under-representation varies across genomes in a manner that broadly correlates with the number of tRNA genes\, a good indicator of translational speed and growth rate. This suggests that minimizing the time invested in gene transcription is an important selective pressure against spurious binding. However\, selection against spurious binding is also detectable in the reduced genomes of host-restricted bacteria that grow at slow rates\, indicating that components of efficiency other than speed may also be important. Minimizing the number of RNAP molecules per cell required for transcription\, and the corresponding energetic expense\, may be most relevant in slow growers...

Using standard test platforms\, we compared a standard matrix to compositionally-adjusted matrices\, with relative entropy left unconstrained\, or constrained in various ways. We found that constraining the relative entropy of the compositionally adjusted matrix to a fixed value in the new compositional context generally produced the best results. We also found that if the sequences compared are not known to have strong compositional biases\, then it is still on average advantageous to use an adjusted matrix when the sequences satisfy certain simple length or compositional inequalities. Applying these findings to general-purpose database searches can lead to a significant improvement in retrieval performance\, with a minimal increase in execution time.

It'\;s time for us to converge\, to explore our common and diverse interests exploring the intersection and seeking an explosion of ideas......We invite all interested persons to submit papers identifying and amplifying technologies\, techniques and processes for implementing some aspect of nterdisciplinary interoperability in M&S. We place no restrictions on the original field of endeavor. We are actively seeking new ideas and methods.

Seminar - deep generative models DESCRIPTION:\\"An efficient way to learn deep generative models\\"Geoffrey Hinton\, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research & University of Toronto I will describe an efficient\, unsupervised learning procedure for deep generative models that contain millions of parameters and many layers of hidden features. The features are learned one layer at a time without any information about the final goal of the system. After the layer-by-layer learning\, a subsequent fine-tuning process can be used to significantly improve the generative or discriminative performance of the multilayer network by making very slight changes to the features. This approach leads to excellent generative models of handwritten digits and natural image patches. It can also be used to create hash functions that map similar documents to similar addresses\, thus allowing hash functions to be used for retrieving similar documents in a time that is independent of the size of the database.

As a result\, musicians frequently express various techno-performative anxieties in explanations of their performance approaches. In particular\, they are concerned that the audience experiences a performance\, one that is imbued with a sense of live presence\, rather than simply the playback of a recording or the clicking of a mouse. They work to convey this “presence” in a number of ways\, which include dancing\, other significant physical gestures\, and the use of carefully selected electronic hardware. The audience responds in kind\, thereby completing the liveness of the event. My talk will address these issues in both theoretical and analytical terms\, drawing material for discussion from interviews and field recordings made in Berlin in 2005–2007.

It is especially prominent in recent years due to our greatly improved data-generation capabilities in science and technologies. The method I present here is motivated by the \\"motif-finding\\" and \\"module-finding\\" problems in biology\, i.e.\, to find sequence patterns (i.e.\, \\"words\\") that seem to appear more frequent than usual in a given set of text sequences (i.e.\, sentences) and to find which of these \\"words\\" tend to co-occur in a sentence. A challenge in the motif-finding problem is that there are no spacings and punctuations between the words and the dictionary of \\"words\\" is unknown to us. Existing methods are mostly \\"bottom-up\\" approaches\, i.e.\, to build up the dictionary starting with single-letter words and then concatenate some existing words that appear to occur next to each other in sentences more frequently than chance. Our new approach is a top-down strategy\, which uses a tree structure to represent the relationship among all possible existing words and uses the EM algorithm to estimate the usage frequency of each word. It automatically trims down most of the incorrect \\"words\\" by letting their usage frequencies converge to zero...

You do it with the aim of getting people aligned and moving in one direction--the direction that will make your business really fly.  \; This topic covers\:  \; The vital difference between being a manager and being a leader The essential role of leadership in business\, and The basic technical and emotional intelligence skills of a leader The instructor for this seminar is\, James Crisafulli.

So now\, more than ever\, the ability to get ahead of the cash flow curve and maintain vendor relationships is going to be critical to your organization’s survival. Developed by Jeffrey S. Deckman\, who has started 6 companies and several not-for-profit organizations over the past 25 years\, the Fluid Cash Flow Management System was designed by him as a means to manage cash flow when times are the toughest. Invented after a visit from the dreaded IRS in the 1990’s\, Jeffrey credits this system with keeping his company solvent until he could work his way through the unfolding banking crises and a regional recession. And 10 years later it is still the backbone of his cash flow management strategy.
