| Network Solutions Sr VP; Beginner Tips for SEO |
 |
This past weekend, Network Solutions Senior Vice
President Stephanie Leffler paid a visit to
MSNBC's "Consultants Corner", where she talked
about how companies can ensure that their Web
sites come out at the top of the search engines.
Because being found via search engines such as
Yahoo! or Google can be the difference between
success and failure for small businesses,
Stephanie gave three tips for "leading the
listings". Credit: Check out

Google Tech Talks

ABSTRACT
Many visual perception tasks are fundamentally
NP-hard computational problems. Solving these
problems robustly requires thinking through
combinatorially many hypothesis. Despite this, our
human visual system performs these tasks
effortlessly. How is this done? I would like to
make two points on this topic. First, formulating
visual thinking as NP-hard computation tasks has
an important advantage: visual routines can be
analyzed precisely to identify their behaviors
independently of their implementations. Second, I
will show there is a class of graph optimization
problems which can be implemented using a
distributed network system with physical (and
plausible biological) interpretation.
I will demonstrate this graph based approach for:
1) image segmentation using Normalized Cuts with
explanations for illusory contours, visual pop out
and attention; 2) salient contour grouping
Speaker: Jianbo Shi
Jianbo Shi was born in Shanghai, China. Since then
he has been moving. He studied Computer Science
and Mathematics as an undergraduate at Cornell
University where he received his B.A. in 1994. He
received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from
University of California at Berkeley in 1998, for
his thesis on Normalize Cuts image segmentation
algorithm. He joined The Robotics Institute at
Carnegie Mellon University in 1999 as a research
faculty, where he lead the Human Identification at
Distance(HumanID) project, developing vision
techniques for human identification and activity
inference. In January 2003, he joined the
Department of Computer & Information Science at
University of Pennsylvania as an Assistant
Professor.
His current research focus on human behavior
analysis and image recognition-segmentation. His
other research interests include image/video
retrieval, and vision based desktop computing. His
long-term interests center around a broader area
of machine intelligence, he wishes to develop a
"visual thinking" module that allows computers not
only to understand the environment around us, but
also to achieve higher level cognitive abilities
such as machine memory and learning.
