High-level, or holistic, scene understanding involves reasoning about objects, regions, and
the 3D relationships between them. This requires a representation above the level of pixels …

We have collected a corpus of data from natural meetings that occurred at the International
Computer Science Institute (ICSI) in Berkeley, California over the last three years. The …

Smart meeting systems, which record meetings and analyze the generated audio--visual
content for future viewing, have been a topic of great interest in recent years. A successful …

In our Big Data era, data is being generated, collected and analyzed at an unprecedented

For maximum performance, an out-of-order processor must issue load instructions as early
as possible, while avoiding memory-order violations with prior store instructions that write to …

A communication system (eg, a speakerphone) includes an array of microphones, a
speaker, memory and a processor. The processor may perform a virtual broadside scan on …

In distributed meeting applications, microphone arrays have been widely used to capture
superior speech sound and perform speaker localization through sound source localization …
