    April 27, 0216 | Eric Horvitz

    Eric Horvitz receives the ACM-AAAI Allen Newell Award for his contributions to artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction spanning the computing and decision sciences through developing principles and models of sensing, reflection, and rational action.

  2. Gas Consumption and Pollution Emission 

    November 30, -0001 | Yu Zheng and Yu Zheng

    In this paper, we instantly infer the gas consumption and pollution emission of vehicles traveling on a city’s road network in current time slot, using GPS trajectories from a sample of vehicles (e.g., taxicabs). The knowledge cannot only be used to suggest cost-efficient driving routes…

  3. Urban Noise Demonstration 

    November 30, -0001 | Yu Zheng and Yu Zheng

    Infer the noise situation of New York City throughout a city based on 311 complaints, social media, points of interests and road networks.   compare noise situation of different regions.

  4. Sketch Segmentation & Recognition 

    November 30, -0001 | Changhu Wang

    Click to download video We study the problem of how to segment a freehand sketch at the object level. By carefully considering the basic principles of human perceptual organization, a real-time solution is presented to automatically segment a user’s sketch during his/her drawing. First, a…

    November 30, -0001 | Yu Zheng

    [1] Inferring real-time and fine-grained air quality throughout a city using a diversity of datasets, such as meteorology, traffic and geographical data. The publication about this video can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/u-air-when-urban-air-quality-inference-meets-big-data/ [2] Forecast air quality over near future in a city based on big…

  6. Smart Ink 

    November 30, -0001 | Changhu Wang

    Click to download video We systematically study how to incorporate users’ correction and editing into isolated and full sketch recognition. This is a natural and necessary interaction in real systems such as Visio where very similar shapes exist. First, a novel algorithm is proposed to…
