*Greetings all.  I'm Jim Vaught, a 2nd year ECE PhD student working with Professor Boutin.  My research interests are applied mathematics, cryptography and steganography.  Applying information theoretic results, stego can be approached as a noisy channel coding problem.  I look forward to seeing how the statistical decision making techniques we learn in this course can be applied to channel encoder/decoder design in that context.  As a side note, the author of our course text, Dr. Fukunaga, was my EE 301 professor back in 96.  I am looking forward to reading his book.

::Salutations, Jim.  My research is also into steganography and I would enjoy an opportunity to have a chat with you and learn more about what you are doing.  Cheers, [[User:Pritchey|Pritchey]] 10:34, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Discussion Topic 1: Introduction and Expections

  • Hello everybody, I am Prof. Mimi, your instructor. My goal in this course is to teach you some fundamental tools that you can use to attack the different decision theory problems that you will encounter, along with the limits of these tools. I also hope to give you some ideas on how to address the limitations of current decision theory techniques. I am personally very interested in decision theory. Part of my research focuses on designing methods to extract features to represent data in such a way that no information is lost in the process. I am also interested in developing methods to remove information from a representation that is not helpful in making a decision. This is particularly challenging when the underlying data is high-dimensional. Looking forward to getting to know you all! --Mboutin 15:33, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Howdy, my name is Philip and I am a 2nd year PhD student in Computer Science working with Prof. Vernon Rego on generating and detecting hidden information in covert channels. Basically, I have two problems; the first is this: given a data set containing objects which may or may not contain hidden information (covert communication... think secret agents), find the objects which contain hidden information. The other problem is to generate objects within which we can hide information and do this in such a way that these new information-hiding objects can evade detection by the aforementioned detection system. I hope to learn from this course several methods for attacking my detection problem. I am looking forward to learning more about feature extraction and information representation methods.

  • Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yuan, 2nd year PhD in Computer Engineering area, ECE. I'm working with Prof. George Lee on Cognitive Robotics. Machine Learning algorithms have been used for place recognition for mobile robots. We are investigating possible models to incorporate existing Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition methods on Object Detection to infer human activity intention. Yuanl 16:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Hi, I am Rami Alazrai, I just finished my Master’s in ECE and this is my first semester in PhD, I am working with prof. George Lee on Emotion detection and HRI. We are utilizing image processing and computer vision techniques to come up with a framework for Emotion and intention detection that can be used in HRI.
  • Hello everyone, I am Aurélien Roy and this is my 2nd semester of CS Master. Having already a French diploma of aeronautical engineering, I wish to work later in the software field of unmanned aircrafts. Despite the criticity of these kind of embedded systems, I think there will be more and more Artificial Intelligence onboard. That is why I try to learn the more possible about AI.
Un étudiant français!!! En plus, je crois qu'il a un clavier français, alors je n'ai plus qu'à "coller et copier" pour écrire les accents maintenant. STP tu pourrais ecrire un mot avec une cédille et un autre avec un "a" accent grave quelque part? Comme ça je pourrais corriger les fautes dans ce commentaire. -pm
éèêëàç - J'espère qu'il n'y a tout de même pas trop de fautes :S
Non, non. Je parlais de mon commentaire à moi. Voilà, c'est corrigé maintenant. -pm
