Google Tech Talks
September, 11 2007
ABSTRACT
The name Maple is synonymous with doing
complex math on computers. Best known for its
symbolic or algebraic computation abilities,
Maple is one of the most important tools for
the modern applied mathematician and
scientist. Many of you are likely familiar
with Maple from college but you've probably
not kept up to date with latest developments.
This presentation will present some of the
latest product developments from Maplesoft.
Topics include
- developments in high performance numerical
computation
- recent advances in symbolic computing
- new Maple libraries including graph theory,
statistics, optimization, polynomial
operations, and more
- parallel and grid computing
- knowledge capture for mathematical
documents
- the Maple programming language and
application development
- overview of new add-on products including
global optimization, and modeling and
simulation
The presenter will be Mohamed Bendame, a
senior engineer from Maplesoft. The
presentations will include an open Q session.
This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech
Talks Team.

Google Tech Talks
October, 17 2007
ABSTRACT
Join Ben Gertzfield of VMware for a look
behind the curtain at virtualization on the
Mac, the technology that frees operating
systems from their earthly hardware chains.
Similar in spirit to the ideals of the
microkernel and distributed computing, the
abstracted and idealized CPU, storage,
network, and other devices provided by
virtualization remove the barriers formed by
the underlying realities of heterogeneous
physical hardware.
We'll discuss the technologies forming and
building upon virtualization, including the
hypervisor (or virtual machine monitor),
replay (deterministic recording and replaying
of all hardware and software events), and
virtual machine-based disaster recovery.
In addition, we'll share the lessons learned
from jumping head-first into the consumer
software and Mac worlds, and how
"thinking different" applies to
porting a massive source code base to its
third platform (after Linux and Windows).
This talk will be taped by the engEDU Tech
Talks Team.
Speaker: Ben Gertzfield
Ben Gertzfield is the lead developer of
VMware Fusion for Mac, VMware's first
virtualization solution for Intel Macs,
currently available for free trial download.
Ben graduated from the University of
California, Santa Cruz with a degree in
computer science, and subsequently lived and
worked in Japan be...

| A Possible Future of Software Development |
 |
Google Tech Talks
July, 25 2007
ABSTRACT
This talk begins with an overview of software
development at Adobe and a look at industry
trends towards systems built around object
oriented frameworks; why they "work", and why
they ultimately fail to deliver quality,
scalable, software. We'll look at a possible
alternative to this future, combining generic
programming with declarative programming to
build high quality, scalable systems.
Speaker: Sean Parent

Systems and engineering manager of the Adobe
Software Technology Lab. One of his team's
current projects is the Adobe Source
Libraries

| What Do Those Images Have In Common? |
 |
Google Tech Talks
March, 25 2008
ABSTRACT
This talk is about discovering and modeling
previously unspecified, recurring themes in a
given set of arbitrary images. Given a set of
images, each containing frequent occurrences
of objects from multiple categories, the goal
is to learn a compact model of the categories
as well as their relationships, for the
purposes of later recognizing/segmenting any
occurrences in new images. Categories are not
defined by the user. Also, whether and where
instances of any categories appear in a
specific image is not known. This problem is
challenging, since it involves the following
unanswered questions. What is an object
category? What image properties should be
used and how to combine them to discover
category occurrences? What is an efficient
multicategory representation?
We will examine a methodology, developed
during my postdoctoral work at UIUC. Each
image is represented by a segmentation tree
whose nodes correspond to image regions,
segmented at all natural scales present, and
edges between tree nodes capture the region
embedding. The presence of any categories in
the image set is then reflected in the
frequent occurrence of similar subtrees
within the segmentation trees. Our
methodology is designed to: (1) match image
trees to find similar subtrees; (2) discover
categories by clustering similar subtrees,
and use the properties of each cluster to
learn the model of the associated category;
and (3) learn the grammar of the discovered
categories that compactly captures their
recursive definitions in terms of other
simpler (sub)categories and their
relationships (e.g., containment, co-
occurrence, and sharing of simple categories
by more complex ones). When a new image is
encountered, its segmentation tree is matched
against the learned grammar to simultaneously
recognize and segment all occurrences of the
learned categories. This matching also
provides a semantic explanation of object
recognition in terms of the identified parts
along with their spatial relationships.
The aforementioned methodology can also be
used for identifying recurring image themes
of more general kind. An example is that of
extracting the stochastically repeating,
elementary parts of image texture (e.g.,
waterlilies on the water surface, people in a
crowd).
