Various types of how-to-knowledge are encoded in natural language instructions: from setting up a tent, to preparing a dish for dinner, and to executing biology lab experiments.

Healthcare literature has exploded in the past 30 years. Can artificial intelligence help doctors keep up with what works in healthcare?

In an effort to empower more data-driven thinking, Microsoft is working with U.C.

Personal Information Management (PIM) is an activity in which an individual stores personal information items (e.g. files, emails and Web favorites) in order to retrieve them later.

"What do you do when you’re waiting for the bus? Or waiting for a class to start? Or waiting at the doctor’s office? Or in line at the grocery store?

Informal communication networks within firms represent the connections among workers across which information and organizational learning are transferred, status is exchanged, and social, mentoring

"Software developers rely on many different media to communicate, collaborate, and coordinate with others.

I will present work that leverages user behavioral data to build personalized applications, which I call "behavior-powered systems".

We live in interesting times. Seers predict Utopian or Dystopian futures where Algorithms and data will be the gods that rule our destiny and that of the planet.

Computing technologies today have made it much easier to gather personal data. Algorithms are constantly analyzing such personal information and making consequential decisions on people.

Botness is a two-day gathering in NYC on November 4-5, 2016 at NYU/ITP. We'll discuss all things bots: startups, tools, bots for work and play, discovery, and engagement.

The video shows a simulation of the quadrotor flight in a sub-urban environment. The visuals depict how the camera mounted on the quadrotor perceives the world.

We introduce a method based on precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) that allows interactive rendering of glossy surfaces and includes shadowing effects from dynamic, “all-frequency” lighting.

Approximating detailed models with coarse, texture-mapped meshes results in polygonal silhouettes.

Aliasing is an important problem when rendering triangle meshes. Efficient antialiasing techniques such as mipmapping greatly improve the filtering of textures defined over a mesh.

Given an arbitrary mesh, we present a method to construct a progressive mesh (PM) such that all meshes in the PM sequence share a common texture parametrization.

We create a surface parametrization to store a given surface signal into a texture image.

We present a new, real-time method for rendering diffuse and glossy objects in low-frequency lighting environments that captures soft shadows, interreflections, and caustics.

Radiance transfer represents how generic source lighting is shadowed and scattered by an object to produce view-dependent appearance. We generalize by rendering transfer at two scales.
