[Aspuru-Guzik group list] [iic-seminars] IIC Seminar Reminder - Chia Shen on March 5

by Helene Tingle

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, March 5, 2008; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Chia Shen, Visiting Senior Scientist, Initiative in Innovative Computing at Harvard, and Senior Research Scientist, MERL Research Lab Seminar Title: From Clicks to Touches-Decipher the Myths and Misnomer of Multi-Touch Abstract: In recent years, there has been much Human Computer Interaction (HCI) research as well as commercial hardware innovations on direct touch interactive tabletops. As a result, a new field called Tabletop Computing (Off the Desktop Computing) has emerged. In this talk, I will offer glimpses into some of the ongoing research and development endeavors around the world, including our own, that have begun to put these interactive tabletops into the realm of social and visual computing, as well as educational and pedagogical applications. I will touch upon the impact, the challenges and open research questions that have stemmed from these new efforts. Upcoming IIC Seminars: Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] It's group poster time! (Sangwoo, Roberto: Official Poster-masters!)

by Alan Aspuru-Guzik

Dear group, It is the lovely and great poster assembly time. An opportunity for bonding, love and stress. We need to have a poster ready by FRIDAY, March 7. The good thing is that we have last year's posters already stored in some computer file that Ivan, Leslie, James and Alejandro created. Now, we need to rotate to younger blood, so I need two G-1s to put the poster together (SS+ROA). The idea is to collect Text + Images from people around the group and integrate them into a very cool poster. You can re-use some of the material the the G-2 used for the last year. Roberto and Sangwoo will e-mail instructions. Joel and Patrick are slated as the official poster-makers for the next year.

by Emily Lohmann

Initiative in Innovative Computing @ Harvard Seminar Series Wednesday, February 27, 2008; 4:00pm 60 Oxford Street, Room 330 Erol Gelenbe, Professor in the Dennis Gabor Chair Imperial College, London Seminar Title: Spiked Neuronal Networks and Gene Regulatory Networks: a Common Stochastic Framework and Method of Solution Abstract: The Random Neural Network Model has been introduced to model that apparently probabilistic and spiked behaviour of many natural neuronal assemblies. We will first summarise the model and its main mathematical and algorithmic properties. Specifically we will detail its product form solution, and present its O(n^3) learning algorithm. Then we will describe applications to modeling natural cortico- thalamic oscillations, and to texture based detailed recognition for anomaly detection in MRI images of the brain. We will concluding by describing how very similar models can also be used to represent the dynamics and equilibrium of gene regulatory networks. The talk will be based on papers that we have published in the journals Neural Computation, BioSystems, Proceedings IEEE, IEEE Trans. on Neural Networks, and the Physical Review E. Upcoming IIC Seminars: Continue to stay up to date with our IIC Seminar Schedule. Parking is available in the 52 Oxford Street Garage. Please tell the attendant that you are attending the IIC Seminar. _______________________________________________ iic-seminars mailing list iic-seminars(a)calists.harvard.edu http://calists.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/iic-seminars
