We describe our investigations in generating textual summaries of physiological time series data to aid medical personnel in monitoring babies in neonatal intensive care units. Our studies suggest that summarization is a communicative task that requires data analysis techniques for determining the content of the summary. We describe a prototype system that summarizes physiological time series.

Frequent pattern mining is an important data mining problem with wide applications. The huge number of discovered frequent patterns pose great challenge for users to explore and understand them. It is desirable to accurately summarizing the set of frequent patterns into a small number of patterns or profiles so that users can easily explore them. In this paper, we employ a probability model to ...

In this paper I describe several techniques for summarizing the motion of foreground objects in video taken by a fixed camera and with a static background. Two of the techniques are image-based, and dependent upon an explicit background segmentation. A third technique fits action-lines to the video sequence, and requires no explicit segmentation. The results of the different techniques are anal...

Online Social Networks (OSNs) allow users to create and share content (e.g., posts, status updates, comments) in real-time. These activities are collected in an activity log, (e.g. Facebook Wall, Google+ Stream, etc.) on the user’s social network profile. With time, the activity logs of users, which record the sequences of social activities, become too long and consequently hard to view and nav...

There is also some overlap with Discussion 67 (1979) on State-Selected Kinetics and Discussion 75 (1983) on Intramolecular Kinetics. However, the present symposium di†ers from all these in two very important ways : (1) condensed-phase reactions are also included, and (2) the discussion is focused exclusively on theory. With these aspects in mind one could include a number of earlier predecessor...

In this paper, we investigate generating a set of query-focused summaries from search results. Since there may be many topics related to a given query in the search results, in order to summarize these results, they should first be classified into topics, and then each topic should be summarized individually. In this summarization process, two types of redundancies need to be reduced. First, ea...

How can we succinctly describe a million-node graph with a few simple sentences? Given a large graph, how can we find its most ‘important’ structures, so that we can summarize it and easily visualize it? How can we measure the ‘importance’ of a set of discovered subgraphs in a large graph? Starting with the observation that real graphs often consist of stars, bipartite cores, cliques and chains...

CONTEXT Reporting on health disparities is fundamental for meeting the goal of reducing health disparities. One often overlooked challenge is determining the best way to report those disparities associated with multiple attributes such as income, education, sex, and race/ethnicity. This article proposes an analytical approach to summarizing social disparities in health, and we demonstrate its e...
