Abstract:
Systems and methods for detecting people or speakers in an automated fashion are disclosed. A pool of features including more than one type of input (like audio input and video input) may be identified and used with a learning algorithm to generate a classifier that identifies people or speakers. The resulting classifier may be evaluated to detect people or speakers.

Discussion evaluation may be provided. First, an assignment page including an evaluation link may be displayed and a user initiated input corresponding to the evaluation link may be received. Next, an evaluation view may be displayed in response to the received user initiated input. The displayed evaluation view may comprise an evaluation assistant data section and a raw discussion data section. Evaluation data may then be received in response to the displayed evaluation view.
Abstract:
Estimation of available bandwidth on a network uses packet pairs and spatially filtering. Packet pairs are transmitted over the network. The dispersion of the packet pairs is used to generate samples of the available bandwidth, which are then classified into bins to generate a histogram. The bins can have uniform bin widths, and the histogram data can be aged so that older samples are given less weight in the estimation. The histogram data is then spatially filtered. Kernel density algorithms can be used to spatially filter the histogram data. The network available bandwidth is estimated using the spatially filtered histogram data. Alternatively, the spatially filtered histogram data can be temporally filtered before the available bandwidth is estimated.

Abstract:
A method for orchestrating various applications is described herein. A request to store a context information regarding a document may be received. An application in which the document is modified may be determined. The context information may be requested from the application. The context information may be stored. A request to recall the context information may be received. The context information may be displayed on a computer screen.
Abstract:
A system and process for muting the audio transmission from a location of a participant engaged in a multi-party, computer network-based teleconference when that participant is working on a keyboard, is presented. The audio is muted as it is assumed the participant is doing something other than actively participation in the meeting when typing on the keyboard. If left un-muted the sound of typing would distract the other participant in the teleconference.
Abstract:
The concurrent multiple instance learning technique described encodes the inter-dependency between instances (e.g. regions in an image) in order to predict a label for a future instance, and, if desired the label for an image determined from the label of these instances. The technique, in one embodiment, uses a concurrent tensor to model the semantic linkage between instances in a set of images. Based on the concurrent tensor, rank-1 supersymmetric non-negative tensor factorization (SNTF) can be applied to estimate the probability of each instance being relevant to a target category. In one embodiment, the technique formulates the label prediction processes in a regularization framework, which avoids overfitting, and significantly improves a learning machine's generalization capability, similar to that in SVMs. The technique, in one embodiment, uses Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) to extend predicted labels to the whole feature space based on the generalized representer theorem.
Abstract:
A computer network-based distributed presentation system and process is presented that controls the display of one or more video streams output by multiple video cameras located across multiple presentation sites on display screens located at each presentation site. The distributed presentation system and process provides the ability for a user at a site to customize the screen configuration (i.e., what video streams are display at any one time and in what format) for that site via a two-layer display director module. In the design layer of the module, a user interface is provided for a user to specify display priorities dictating what video streams are to be displayed on the screen over time. These display priorities are then provided to the execution layer of the module which translates them into probabilistic timed automata and uses the automata to control what is displayed on the display screen.
Abstract:
Multi-label active learning may entail training a classifier with a set of training samples having multiple labels per sample. In an example embodiment, a method includes accepting a set of training samples, with the set of training samples having multiple respective samples that are each respectively associated with multiple labels. The set of training samples is analyzed to select a sample-label pair responsive to at least one error parameter. The selected sample-label pair is then submitted to an oracle for labeling.
