whitepaper Turning the Tide: Why new strategies are urgently needed to counter the surge in online video piracy2006-10-18 01:00:18 Envisional
  Now that millions of ordinary, non-geeky families are routinely downloading TV shows and movies without a second thought, digital piracy has clearly gone mainstream. These people don't see themselves as criminals. But their changing viewing habits are forcing every film and television company on the planet to shape up and start thinking the unthinkable.   
whitepaper Machine Learning for the Real World2006-11-04 01:00:15 Intel
  Machine learning refers to the problem of constructing computer programs that automatically improve with experience. Such programs could potentially be very useful to the real world. Examples include people monitoring system, diagnostic systems in manufacturing and health and autonomously guided vehicles. This presentation provides description of the general types of machine learning programs and describes the process of implementing such programs starting form data collection, choosing the algorithm and evaluating. Finally, it presents some real examples.   
whitepaper Guided Artificial Intelligence Protocol / Automated Network Administrator: White Paper2006-09-01 Wiresoft Net
  The Wiresoft Automated Network Administrator (ANA) implementation represents a significant leap in data processing, heralding the entrance of human-level artificial intelligence capabilities into every area of computer interaction and social function. ANA relies on the Guided Artificial Intelligence Protocol (GAIP) engine to offer under-the-hood Linux management services for Wiresoft products. This paper focuses on the GAIP engine, its origins, its evolution, its current implementation, its methodology for passing the unrestricted Turing test, and its integration into the Wiresoft ANA management service.

whitepaper The Essential Role of Mental Models in HCI: Card, Moran and Newell2006-07-30 IBM
  In the formative years of HCI in the early1980s, researchers explored the idea that users form mental models of computer systems which they use to guide their interaction with the system. This was a powerful concept because it meant that if the authors, as interface designers, understood what kind of model the user constructed as well as the process of constructing it, the author could make computers easier to use by developing systems that were consistent with that model or that made it easier to construct the model.

whitepaper The University of Bradford Creates Intelligent Industry Links to Push the Boundaries of Students~ Abilities Using AI and Gaming2006-07-04 05:23:12 Microsoft
  The University of Bradford was founded in 1832, with the formation of its Mechanics Institute. It received its Royal Charter in 1966. Today, it teaches more than 6,000 full-time undergraduates and 800 full-time postgraduates. In 2003, the university was invited to a meeting with the Academia team with the Microsoft Developer and Platform Evangelism (DPE) Group to discuss ways in which the two organisations could work together. The DPE team introduced the University to a product called Terrarium built by developers using the Microsoft .NET Framework. Equipped with the knowledge of what Terrarium could do, Bradford realised that it could be modified to meet its specific Artificial Intelligence needs.   
whitepaper The Internet: Games and Gambling2006-07-01 O'Reilly Media
  The Web has no shortage of games - or people to play them with. If one can play it with cards or a board, chances are there's an online version: solitaire, hearts, euchre, spades, canasta, Scrabble, mahjong, Sudoku ... the list goes on. One usually has a choice of playing by themselves or against other Internet players. Devoted followers of games like chess and bridge can pursue their passion on dozens of Web sites.

whitepaper Statistics Hacks: Use Random Selection as Artificial Intelligence2006-05-01 O'Reilly Media
  According to behavioral psychologists, all animals (including humans, otters, and single-celled creatures) learn essentially the same way. Experience presents situations in which choices lead to outcomes. As the animal receives feedback about the outcome, it adapts. If the outcome was positive, the creature is more likely to make the same choice in the future. If the outcome was negative, the creature is less likely to make that choice again. Notice that there is no guarantee that a "Good" behavior is always repeated or that a bad behavior becomes extinct; it is only a matter of probability. The right decision is more likely to be made and the wrong decision is less likely to be made.   
whitepaper The Panum Proxy Algorithm for Dense Stereo Matching Over a Volume of Interest2006-05-02 05:40:15
  Stereo matching algorithms conventionally match over a range of disparities sufficient to encompass all visible 3D scene points. Human vision however does not do this. It works over a narrow band of disparities - Panum's fusional band - whose typical range may be as little as 1/20 of the full range of disparities for visible points. Points inside the band are fused visually and the remainder of points is seen as "Diplopic" - that is with double vision. The Panum band restriction is important also in machine vision, both with active (pan/tilt) cameras, and with high resolution cameras and digital pan/tilt. A probabilistic approach is presented for dense stereo matching under the Panum band restriction.   
whitepaper Beyond PageRank: Machine Learning for Static Ranking2006-05-02 05:37:03 International World Wide Web Conference Committee
  Since the publication of Brin and Page's paper on PageRank, many in the Web community have depended on PageRank for the static (query-independent) ordering of Web pages. This paper shows that one can significantly outperform PageRank using features that are independent of the link structure of the Web. The paper gains a further boost in accuracy by using data on the frequency at which users visit Web pages and uses RankNet, a ranking machine learning algorithm, to combine these and other static features based on anchor text and domain characteristics.   
whitepaper PSP Hacks: Create an Infrared Peripheral Interface2006-01-23 O'Reilly Media
  If one is lucky enough to own a Sony PSP capable of running homebrew software, one may have tried out some of the countless emulators and ports of older games out there already. The bad thing is that the user can't play all the old games in two-player mode. Finding a solution for this was actually the motivation to start with this hack. First, it had to avoid any hardware modifications on the PSP itself. Since the PSP already provides infrared and USB ports, this wasn't much of a problem. Secondly, it had to be cheap.
