Probabilistic topic models provide a suite of tools for analyzing large document collections.

High dimensional single cell technologies are on the rise, rapidly increasing in accuracy and throughput. These offer computational biology both a challenge and an opportunity.

The goal of this workshop is to inform people about open source machine learning systems being developed, aid the coordination of such projects, and discuss future plans.

In today's world of connectivity and ubiquitous data, we need to be able to solve ever more complex machine-learning problems.

Opening, Ran Gilad-Bachrach - Microsoft Research Talk 1: New tools and techniques for clinical gait analysis Kat Steele - University of Washington Instrumented clinical gait analysis has become a

Bike sharing is an internationally implemented system for reducing public transit congestion, minimizing carbon emissions, and encouraging a healthy lifestyle.

Drawings and sequential images are an integral part of human expression dating back at least as far as cave paintings, and in contemporary society appear most prominently in comics.

That the era of ubiquitous computing is beginning cannot be disputed. Desktops, laptops, smartphones, and tablets are pervasive and commonplace.

The last few years has seen activity towards programming models, languages and frameworks to address the increasingly wide range and broad availability of heterogeneous computing resources through

We consider the vector fixed point equations arising out of a saturation throughput analysis of a single cell IEEE 802.11e (EDCA) WLAN.

How to get knowledge from data?

In this talk I present Outpost, a software-based primitive for attestable establishment of a root-of-trust-for-computing.

Despite their rising popularity, current cloud storage services and cloud-backed storage systems still have some limitations related to reliability, durability assurances and inefficient file sharing.

Learning and decision-making problems often boil down to a balancing act between exploring new possibilities and exploiting the best known one.

This will be the sixth and final cryptography primer session exploring the basics of modern cryptography.

Social networks play a central role in spreading of information, ideas, behaviors, and products. As such "contagions" diffuse from a person to person they may go "viral," and large cascades can form.

The Objective Measures of Parkinson's disease challenges and directions Ken Kubota - Michael J.

Lozenge tilings are a well-studied effective model for interface between phases in statistical physics model.

The advent of the web has made it possible to combine many people's cognition, creating exciting new opportunities for collective design.

Consider a polynomial P n = c 0 + c1x + ... + c n x n of degree n whose coefficients c i are iid real random variables with mean 0.

In the increasingly digital world of the 21st century, every person on the planet should be able to get timely warnings about potential calamities like typhoons and tornados as well as earthquakes

One of the basic tenets in information theory, the data processing inequality, states that output divergence does not exceed the input divergence for any channel.

Cloud infrastructures have transformed the way we compute.

This will be the fifth of six cryptography primer sessions exploring the basics of modern cryptography.
