VizLinc: integrating information extraction, search, graph analysis, and geo-location for the visual exploration of large data sets

Published in:
Proc. KDD 2014 Workshop on Interactive Data Exploration and Analytics, IDEA, 24 August 2014, pp. 10-18.

Summary

In this demo paper we introduce VizLinc; an open-source software suite that integrates automatic information extraction, search, graph analysis, and geo-location for interactive visualization and exploration of large data sets. VizLinc helps users in: 1) understanding the type of information the data set under study might contain, 2) finding patterns and connections between entities, and 3) narrowing down the corpus to a small fraction of relevant documents that users can quickly read. We apply the tools offered by VizLinc to a subset of the New York Times Annotated Corpus and present use cases that demonstrate VizLinc's search and visualization features.

Face recognition despite missing information

Published in:
HST 2011, IEEE Int. Conf. on Technologies for Homeland Security, 15-17 November 2011, pp. 475-480.

Summary

Missing or degraded information continues to be a significant practical challenge facing automatic face representation and recognition. Generally, existing approaches seek either to generatively invert the degradation process or find discriminative representations that are immune to it. Ideally, the solution to this problem exists between these two perspectives. To this end, in this paper we show the efficacy of using probabilistic linear subspace modes (in particular, variational probabilistic PCA) for both modeling and recognizing facial data under disguise or occlusion. From a discriminative perspective, we verify the efficacy of this approach for attenuating the effect of missing data due to disguise and non-linear speculars in several verification experiments. From a generative view, we show its usefulness in not only estimating missing information but also understanding facial covariates for image reconstruction. In addition, we present a least-squares connection to the maximum likelihood solution under missing data and show its intuitive connection to the geometry of the subspace learning problem.
