The Design of a Wearable Application to Measure Anxiety with a Digital Fidget Toy

Master's Defense
Speaker Name

Anxiety is one of the main symptoms of some major disorders, such as general anxiety disorder (GAD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Several biomarkers including heart rate (HR), heart rate vitality (HRV), excessive motions, etc. can be good metrics of anxiety levels, thus good metrics of GAD or ADHD. On one hand, with the development of mobile and wearable sensors, recent researches rise in the measurement of HR with wearable devices or self-reported results on mobile devices [23].

From Visual Recognition to Visual Understanding

Duke Computer Science Colloquium
Speaker Name
Laurens van der Maaten
Location
LSRC D106
Date and Time
-
This talk gives an overview of some of our recent work on visual recognition and visual understanding. The first part of the talk considers visual recognition. It presents results of experiments in which we train convolutional networks on billions of weakly supervised web images. The second part of the talk raises the question whether recent successes in visual recognition also pave the way towards visual understanding.

The Battle of Internet Censorship: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice
