Unsupervised Activity Extraction on Long-Term Video Recordings Employing Soft Computing Relations

Unsupervised Decoding of Long-Term, Naturalistic Human Neural Recordings with Automated Video and Audio Annotations

Fully automated decoding of human activities and intentions from direct neural recordings is a tantalizing challenge in brain-computer interfacing. Implementing Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) outside carefully controlled experiments in laboratory settings requires adaptive and scalable strategies with minimal supervision. Here we describe an unsupervised approach to decoding neural states fro...

Unsupervised Activity Analysis and Monitoring Algorithms for Effective Surveillance Systems

In this demonstration, we will show the different modules related to the automatic surveillance prototype developed in the context of the EU VANAHEIM project. Several components will be demonstrated on real data from the Torino metro. First, different unsupervised activity modeling algorithms that capture recurrent activities from long recordings will be illustrated. A contrario, they provide u...

Application of Adaptive Block Matching in the Extraction of Temporal Motor Activity Signals from Video Recordings of Neonatal Seizures

relatively expensive, are generally used for only a few hours of monitoring, and may not be routinely available in many centers. Automated processing and analysis of video recordings of neonatal seizures can generate novel methods for extracting quantitative information that is relevant only to the seizure. The extraction of quantitative information from video recordings of neonatal seizures ca...

Short-term and Long-term Impact of Video-driven Metapragmatic Awareness Raising on Speech Act Production: A Case of Iranian Interme-diate EFL Learners

Ancient Iranian Earthquakes: Chehr-Abad Salt Mine

Modern plate tectonic theory, the development of earthquake prediction and the mitigation of earthquake hazards are based on the study of earthquakes during the twentieth century. Investigation of earthquakes over a much longer period, although in no way invalidating the global importance of plate tectonics, shows that patterns of seismic activity do change with time and that areas of intense s...
