Research 2.0 • Research 2.0 = Research based on the concept of Web 2.0 • Similar idea/term was proposed by Harry Shum of MSRA • Observations from vision and multimedia research
Web 2.0 Web2.0的精神在於”肯定網路上不特定多數人並非被動的服務享受者,而是主動的創作者,並積極地開發技術或服務,鼓勵這些人參與。” 梅田望夫
The long tail 80-20 rule Law of the vital few Books, media, software… Web 2.0 involves all people and shifts the authority.
Web 2.0 (Tim O’Reilly) • The web as platform • Data is the next Intel Inside • Harnessing collective intelligence • …
Research 2.0 • Data, paper and code are on the web • Benchmark becomes more and more important. Sharing your data and code is likely to make your research more influential.
Middlebury stereo page Performance for over 40 methods were reported; 36 of them were submitted by other researchers.
Middlebury stereo page • A review paper along with a benchmark was published in IJCV 2002. • 541 citations since then according to Google scholar.
LIBSVM (C.J.Lin at NTU) • 873 citations since 2001 according to Google scholar. • SVM is not necessarily the best tool for classification. • Its popularity could gain from some robust and easy-to-use tools.
Research 2.0 • Data, paper and code are on the web • Benchmark becomes more and more important. Sharing your data and code is likely to make your research more influential.
Research 2.0 • Data, paper and code are on the web • Benchmark becomes more and more important. Sharing your data and code is likely to make your research more influential. • Explore vast amount of (noisy) data • Statistical approaches (machine learning, data mining, information retrieval)
Landmark project • What are the text keywords for landmarks? • What are the visual keywords associated with landmarks?
Research 2.0 • Data, paper and code are on the web • Benchmark becomes more and more important. Sharing your data and code is likely to make your research more influential. • Explore vast amount of (noisy) data • Statistical approaches (machine learning, data mining, information retrieval) • Utilize collective intelligence • Good designs and motivations encourage people to make contributions
What can users contributes? • YouTube/flickr: media and tags • Wikipedia: knowledge • Amazon: reviews/comments • Connextions: courses • MIT’s openmid: common sense • Human computation cycles
Application to ROI • We have applied this idea to ROI research. • There is no benchmark • There is no evaluation • There is no example-based approach
How to detect? • Heuristics • Contrast • Face • Text • Shape …
How to detect? • Heuristics • Contrast • Face • Text • Shape … • User labeling • Manual • Eye tracker …
Our approach • Collect large amount of ground truth • Evaluate existing algorithms • A learning-based algorithm
Conclusions Because of Internet’s paradigm shift, what are new research possibilities? The answers are left to you.
