Creating an interactive drama requires authors to produce large quantities of story content. A programmer or knowledge expert typically creates this content because they have experience with the story environment. By using an authoring tool someone with less experience with the story environment can organize and create story content. The Scribe Authoring Tool is an authoring tool that will be u...

BACKGROUND Electronic health records (EHRs) hold promise to improve productivity, quality, and outcomes; however, using EHRs can be cumbersome, disruptive to workflow, and off-putting to patients and clinicians. One proposed solution to this problem is the use of medical scribes. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the literature investigating the effect of medical scribes on ...

These are edited lecture notes from a graduate course at the Computer Science department of Princeton University in Fall 2002. The course was my attempt to teach first year graduate students students many mathematical tools useful in theoretical computer science. Of course, the goal was too ambitious for a course with 12 three hour lectures. I had to relegate some topics to homework; these incl...

This paper describes a method for robust offline writer identification. We propose to use RootSIFT descriptors computed densely at the script contours. GMM supervectors are used as encoding method to describe the characteristic handwriting of an individual scribe. GMM supervectors are created by adapting a background model to the distribution of local feature descriptors. Finally, we propose to...

These notes are slightly edited from scribe notes in previous years. In lecture we only covered sections 1 and 3 of these notes, but we provide the complete details for completeness. 1 The Winnow Algorithm Like the Perceptron algorithm, The Winnow Algorithm learns linear threshold hypotheses. The algorithm and its analysis are specialized to inputs in {0, 1} n , that is, when the features are b...

We describe a novel application domain for semi supervised and active learning algo rithms namely that of intelligent interactive contour extraction It is well known that ob ject delineation is an ill posed problem unless guided by the human or by apriori constraints and models We focus on user steered extrac tion which has been the focus of investiga tion in a large volume of work in computer ...
