whitepaper Interpreting Images With MRDS Services2008-08-21 JupiterMedia
  Most people do not realize how difficult it can be to process a digital image and extract meaningful data, such as information required to drive a robot or operate an embedded platform. Humans see the world as a series of concrete images, but robots using a web cam see it as an array of red, green, and blue pixel values. To extract meaningful visual data out of this array of pixel values, one needs special software. That's what the robot example in this paper does. To better understand how a robot can process digital images, this paper describes how to use Microsoft Robotics Development Studio (MRDS), version 2.0 to create a simulation in which a LEGO NXT Tribot follows a black line.

whitepaper Naive Bayes Classifier Learning With Feature Selection for Spam Detection in Social Bookmarking2008-08-11 Soongsil University
  Social bookmarking systems such as BibSonomy and del.icio.us have become increasingly popular with the prevalent use of internet. These systems provide powerful infrastructure solutions for semantic annotation and information sharing, promoting diverse kinds of internet-based activities, e.g., web exploration, creating and joining web-based communities, and buying recently published volumes. This paper proposes a machine learning-based approach to automatic spam detection. In specific, a set of relevant features, i.e., the number of posts and posted tags for each user are extracted from training data. The extracted tags are sorted by mutual information. Then, the tags, having high mutual information value and used in test data, are chosen for the classification task.

whitepaper Scaling Up Text Classification for Large File Systems2008-06-21 Hewlett-Packard
  This paper combines the speed and scalability of information retrieval with the generally superior classification accuracy offered by machine learning, yielding a two-phase text classifier that can scale to very large document corpora. They investigate the effect of different methods of formulating the query from the training set, as well as varying the query size. In empirical tests on the Reuters RCV1 corpus of 806,000 documents, they find runtime was easily reduced by a factor of 27x, with a somewhat surprising gain in F-measure compared with traditional text classification.

whitepaper Boosting Inductive Transfer for Text Classification Using Wikipedia2008-04-29 Hewlett-Packard
  Inductive transfer is applying knowledge learned on one set of tasks to improve the performance of learning a new task. Inductive transfer is being applied in improving the generalization performance on a classification task using the models learned on some related tasks. This paper shows a method of making inductive transfer for text classification more effective using Wikipedia. They map the text documents of the different tasks to a feature space created using Wikipedia, thereby providing some background knowledge of the contents of the documents. It has been observed here that when the classifiers are built using the features generated from Wikipedia they become more effective in transferring knowledge.

whitepaper Architecture Tip: User Interface Design Using the OODA Loop - A Checklist for Getting Your User Interface Design Off to the Right Start2008-03-12 IBM
  The OODA loop was developed by the Air Force as part of its study of air combat. This Observe-Orient-Decide-Act (OODA) cycle models the human brain's decision-making process. This paper explains how UI architects can use the ideas of the OODA loop to design User Interfaces (UIs) that give users better situational awareness and are more intuitive to use. In this paper, learn the basics of the OODA loop, and find out how it can be applied to UI design. The end of this paper features a checklist one can use to help with the initial design of the UI.

whitepaper Concept of an Interactive Web Portal for Teaching Prolog2008-02-25 Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
  This paper discusses practical problems encountered in teaching Artificial Intelligence and Prolog to computer science students. One of the main issues with teaching Prolog is a large conceptual difference between declarative and object-oriented programming paradigms, that the older students are used to. In general, students find learning Prolog a hard experience. Compared to imperative programming, declarative programming requires switching to a different way of thinking Because teaching AI is usually offered as a high-level course (for graduate students), at that time students are already well accustomed to the imperative programming paradigm, and switching to the declarative one usually poses a real challenge.

whitepaper Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager Harnesses Network Intelligence to Increase Availability2007-12-24 Cisco Systems
  Organizations are increasingly reliant on advanced information systems to build products, serve customers, and achieve goals. IT departments are under pressure to ensure continuous access and Cisco customers frequently cite the availability of critical systems as a high priority. Because today's systems, data stores, and user communities are often highly distributed, combining effective network management with a resilient network increases the availability of critical systems. The Cisco IOS Software Infrastructure provides a method of triggering pre-programmed local actions upon detection of specific events. Cisco IOS Software Embedded Event Manager harnesses network intelligence through event detectors and takes action according to pre-defined policies, resulting in increased manageability, control, and resiliency.

whitepaper Semi-Supervised Learning: A Comparative Study for Web Spam and Telephone User Churn2007-07-30 MTA SZTAKI
  This paper compares a wide range of semi-supervised learning techniques both for Web spam filtering and for telephone user churn classification. Semi-supervised learning has the assumption that the label of a node in a graph is similar to those of its neighbors. This paper measures this phenomenon both for Web spam and telco churn. They conclude that spam is often linked to spam while honest pages are linked to honest ones; similarly churn occurs in bursts in groups of a social network.
