New generation of math software from Maplesoft Google Tech Talks September, 11 2007 ABSTRACT The name Maple is synonymous with doing complex math on computers. Best known for its symbolic or algebraic computation abilities, Maple is one of the most important tools for the modern applied mathematician and scientist. Many of you are likely familiar with Maple from college but you've probably not kept up to date with latest developments. This presentation will present some of the latest product developments from Maplesoft. Topics include - developments in high performance numerical computation - recent advances in symbolic computing - new Maple libraries including graph theory, statistics, optimization, polynomial operations, and more - parallel and grid computing - knowledge capture for mathematical documents - the Maple programming language and application development - overview of new add-on products including global optimization, and modeling and simulation The presenter will be Mohamed Bendame, a senior engineer from Maplesoft. The presentations will include an open Q session. This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team. Speaker: Mohamed Bendame Tags: google techtalks tachtalk engedu |

Inside VMware Fusion Google Tech Talks October, 17 2007 ABSTRACT Join Ben Gertzfield of VMware for a look behind the curtain at virtualization on the Mac, the technology that frees operating systems from their earthly hardware chains. Similar in spirit to the ideals of the microkernel and distributed computing, the abstracted and idealized CPU, storage, network, and other devices provided by virtualization remove the barriers formed by the underlying realities of heterogeneous physical hardware. We'll discuss the technologies forming and building upon virtualization, including the hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor), replay (deterministic recording and replaying of all hardware and software events), and virtual machine-based disaster recovery. In addition, we'll share the lessons learned from jumping head-first into the consumer software and Mac worlds, and how "thinking different" applies to porting a massive source code base to its third platform (after Linux and Windows). This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team. Speaker: Ben Gertzfield Ben Gertzfield is the lead developer of VMware Fusion for Mac, VMware's first virtualization solution for Intel Macs, currently available for free trial download. Ben graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz with a degree in computer science, and subsequently lived and worked in Japan be...

A Possible Future of Software Development Google Tech Talks July, 25 2007 ABSTRACT This talk begins with an overview of software development at Adobe and a look at industry trends towards systems built around object oriented frameworks; why they "work", and why they ultimately fail to deliver quality, scalable, software. We'll look at a possible alternative to this future, combining generic programming with declarative programming to build high quality, scalable systems. Speaker: Sean Parent Sean Parent is a principal scientist at Adobe Systems and engineering manager of the Adobe Software Technology Lab. One of his team's current projects is the Adobe Source Libraries Tags: google techtalks techtalk engedu talk talks googletechtalks education |

What Do Those Images Have In Common? Google Tech Talks March, 25 2008 ABSTRACT This talk is about discovering and modeling previously unspecified, recurring themes in a given set of arbitrary images. Given a set of images, each containing frequent occurrences of objects from multiple categories, the goal is to learn a compact model of the categories as well as their relationships, for the purposes of later recognizing/segmenting any occurrences in new images. Categories are not defined by the user. Also, whether and where instances of any categories appear in a specific image is not known. This problem is challenging, since it involves the following unanswered questions. What is an object category? What image properties should be used and how to combine them to discover category occurrences? What is an efficient multicategory representation? We will examine a methodology, developed during my postdoctoral work at UIUC. Each image is represented by a segmentation tree whose nodes correspond to image regions, segmented at all natural scales present, and edges between tree nodes capture the region embedding. The presence of any categories in the image set is then reflected in the frequent occurrence of similar subtrees within the segmentation trees. Our methodology is designed to: (1) match image trees to find similar subtrees; (2) discover categories by clustering similar subtrees, and use the properties of each cluster to learn the model of the associated category; and (3) learn the grammar of the discovered categories that compactly captures their recursive definitions in terms of other simpler (sub)categories and their relationships (e.g., containment, co- occurrence, and sharing of simple categories by more complex ones). When a new image is encountered, its segmentation tree is matched against the learned grammar to simultaneously recognize and segment all occurrences of the learned categories. This matching also provides a semantic explanation of object recognition in terms of the identified parts along with their spatial relationships. The aforementioned methodology can also be used for identifying recurring image themes of more general kind. An example is that of extracting the stochastically repeating, elementary parts of image texture (e.g., waterlilies on the water surface, people in a crowd). This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech Talks Team. Speaker: Sinisa Todorovic Sinisa Todorovic received the joint B.S./M.S. degree with honors in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, in 1994. From 1994 until 2001, he worked in the communications industry. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville, in 2002, and 2005, respectively. Since 2005, he holds the position of Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he collaborates with Prof. Narendra Ahuja. Sinisa's main research interests concern computer vision and machine learning, with current focus on unsupervised extraction and representation of visual themes recurring in images.
