Living Lab Event: Mobile Apps for Use in the City
Sofia, 26-27 January 2013

Why do we need an app for that?
• Municipalities and Regions cover large areas
– Issues collection, prioritization and addressing is time
consuming and costly
– Regional authorities want to listen (or at least show they are
listening) what their citizens are saying
• Citizens want to participate
– Social Networks create new culture and technical possibilities
– They are interested in their everyday problems (especially if
they receive timely feedback)

• Citizens can become a cost and time efficient real-time
sensor of issues and the best source for solution ideas
and prioritization (Collective Intelligence)

Features at a Glance
• Login – authentication
– Synchronization with web
version
• Map and list-based view of
issues
– Close to current location
• Customized filters per
category and distance
• New issue

Companies that understand how to apply AI will scale and win their respective markets over the next decade. That said, delivering on this promise and managing machine learning projects is much harder than most people anticpate. Many organizations hire teams of PhDs and data scientists, then fail to ship products that move business metrics. The root cause is often a lack of product strategy for AI, or the failure to adapt their product development processes to the needs of machine learning systems. This talk will cover some of the common ways machine learning fails in practice, the tactical responsibilities of AI product managers, and how to approach product strategy for AI. Peter Skomoroch, former Head of Data Products at Workday and LinkedIn, will describe how you can navigate these challenges to ship metric moving AI products that matter to your business. Peter will provide practical advice on: * The role of an AI Product Manager * How to evaluate and prioritize your AI projects * The ways AI product management differs from traditional product management * Bridging the worlds of design and machine learning * Making trade offs between data quality and other business metrics

A fast-paced introduction to Deep Learning that starts with a simple yet complete neural network (no frameworks), followed by an overview of activation functions, cost functions, backpropagation, and then a quick dive into CNNs. Next we'll create a neural network using Keras, followed by an introduction to TensorFlow and TensorBoard. For best results, familiarity with basic vectors and matrices, inner (aka "dot") products of vectors, and rudimentary Python is definitely helpful.

Sensor Based Ambient Assisted Living

Yiannis Kompatsiaris

The pervasive use of Online Social Networks (OSN) for networking, communication and search in tandem with the ubiquitous availability of smartphones, which enables real-time multimedia capturing and sharing, have led to massive amounts of user-generated content and activities being amassed online, and made publicly available for analysis and mining. Each content item is associated with an abundance of metadata and related information such as location, tags, comments, favorites and mood indicators, access logs, and so on. At the same time, all this information is implicitly or explicitly interconnected based on various properties such as social links among users, groups, communities, and sharing patterns. These properties transform social media into data sources of an extremely dynamic nature that reflect topics of interests, events, and the evolution of community opinion and focus. Social media processing offers a unique opportunity to structure and extract information and to benefit multiple areas ranging from new media experiences to psychology and marketing. The objective of this talk is to provide an overview of the current research in emerging topics related to applications where social media can act as sensors of real-life phenomena and case studies that reveal valuable insights. After discussing challenges and presenting a generic conceptual architecture, there will be a focus on efficient processing and indexing algorithms that can handle massive amounts of content with application to graph-based event detection and summarization in social media streams.

Social Media Analytics for Graph-Based Event Detection

Yiannis Kompatsiaris

As grassroots and social media-based journalism becomes more widespread, the need to verify information coming from such channels becomes imperative. The objective of this talk is to explore the challenges involved in social media computational verification to automatically classify unreliable media content as fake or real. After presenting a generic conceptual architecture, there will be a focus on tweets around big events linking to images (fake or real) of which the reliability could be verified by independent online sources. The REVEALr platform will be demonstrated, a scalable and efficient content-based media crawling and indexing framework featuring a novel and resilient near-duplicate detection approach and intelligent content- and context-based aggregation capabilities (e.g. clustering, named entity extraction)

This work presents DemaWare, an Ambient Intelligence platform that targets Ambient Assisted Living for people with Dementia. DemaWare seamlessly integrates diverse hardware (wearable and ambient sensors), as well as software components (semantic interpretation, reasoning), involved in such context. It also enables both online and offline processes, including sensor analysis and storage of context semantics in a Knowledge Base. Consequently, it orchestrates semantic interpretation which incorporated defeasible logics for uncertainty handling. Overall, the underlying functionality aids clinicians and carers to timely assess and diagnose patients in the context of lab trials, homes or nursing homes.

Introduction for the Summer School on Social Media Modeling and Search 2012

Yiannis Kompatsiaris

In this talk, research and applications in social media mining and multimedia analysis are going to be presented. Social media sharing websites host billions of images and videos, which have been annotated and shared among friends, or published in groups that cover a specific topic of interest. The fact that users annotate and comment on the content in the form of tags, ratings, preferences and so on, and that these activities are performed on a daily basis, gives such social media data source an extremely dynamic nature that reflects topics of interests, events and the evolution of community opinion and focus. The talk will present research challenges and activities and will focus on multi-modal graph-based community detection methods for social media mining, concept and event detection. Clusttour, a mobile and web application integrating research results with appropriate interface design will be demonstrated as a relevant use case. The talk will also include approaches for object/region classifiers learned using the self-training paradigm with loosely annotated training samples automatically selected from social media.
