ENGLISH ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMS AT POLYTECHNIC OF NATIONAL INFORMATICS

Nursing informatics programs at the University of Maryland at Baltimore.

Image informatics at a national research center.

Image informatics at the Communications Engineering Branch of the Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications (LHNCBC), an R&D division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), includes document and biomedical images. In both domains, research into computer-assisted methods for information extraction, and the implementation of prototype systems incorporating such methods, is cen...

The Design of Educational Programs in System Dynamics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI)

Educational programs leading to degrees in system dynamics are rare and thus of critical importance to the future of the field of system dynamics. However, to a large extent such programs have not yet been made transparent to the system dynamics community as a whole. The present article describes the design and rationale for undergraduate and graduate programs at Worcester Polytechnic Institute...

Person X Detector National Institute of Informatics at TERCVID 2004

This paper describes our participation in the NIST TERCVID 2004 retrieval evaluation. In the first-year effort for the TERCVID project, we only tackle Person X detection of the high-level feature extraction task. We design an automatic Person X detector using frontal faces in videos solely. We illustrate the architecture of Person X detector and the evaluation results in this paper.

National Institute of Informatics, Japan at TRECVID 2010

This paper reports our experiments for three TRECVID 2010 tasks: instance search, semantic indexing, and content-based copy detection. For the instance search task, we present a simple approach that uses face-specific features for PERSON and CHARACTER queries and a combination of local and global features for the OBJECT and LOCATION queries. For the semantic indexing task, we report two approac...
