  1. Sabbatical Update Min-Yen Kan Dec 2009

  2. 1 hour from LA (Hollywood, Beverly Hills) 1 hour from LAX 20 minutes from Disneyland 1 hour from San Diego 6 hours from San Francisco

  3. UC Irvine ICS • One of UC’s earliest school for Information and Computing • Comprises of CS, Informatics and Stats • I interact with two groups (so far): • Information Systems Group (DB+Media) • Machine Learning • Human Computer Interaction

  4. Information Systems Group • Ramesh Jain (Host) • Vivek Singh, PinakiSinha: resolution of twitter hashtags • PinakiSinha: cohesion/coherence in photos/videos • ArjunSatish: summarization of photo streams • On my own: SlideSeer alignment of two streams • SharadMehrotra (Host) • Alessandro, Rabia, Dmitri: data cleaning toolkit • NaveenAshish: Nursing system installation • BijitHore: Rethinking DB/text summarization from an entropy perspective

  5. Other projects • Chen Li • TASTIER: fast, approximate string matching. For ForeCite(Note) • NaliniVenkatsubramanian • Course projects on distributed ForeCite components? • NUS-Duke proposal on clinical article IE (her role would be in dissemination) Also: Machine Learning Group • Alexander Ihler, student Qiang Liu • Better CRF training via sampling. To be applied to ParsCit dataset and problems with multiple fields

  6. Lessons learned so far • Almost all PIs run weekly meetings. Short updates from everyone for about 1 hour total • Chen Li runs his group with code reviews. All code, data and important emails are in a wiki/CVS/bug reporting system. Useful for integration among distributed students. • UC (in general) is an easy area for people to seredipitiously intersect. Easier to get the word of your research out. • NUS people are already out there in all institutions. Our university name is well-known.
