Talk: Observing Society via Television­­­ Challenges towards Social Analysis by Using Large­ScaleBroadcast Video ArchiveWe can obtain many interesting aspects only by watching television, e.g., what's going on in Japan and theworld, what is the current trends, how is economic activities, and so on. This talk will introduce couple of trialsto automatically analyze such information by computers. Especially, with NII TV­RECS video archivecontaining 300,000 hours of broadcast videos, we developed and deployed couple of key technologies includingface detection and matching, fast commercial film mining, and visual object retrieval towards social analysistools.

Talk: Recent Developments in Multimodal Human­Machine and Human­to­Human CommunicationToday, almost everybody can get an impression of the progress in the area of human­machine communication,because one can experience this technology on a daily basis. The best example for this is the development ofsmartphones, where e.g. Personal Digital Assistants such as Siri from Apple or Cortana from Microsoft havesignificantly improved the usage of automatic speech recognition. Additionally, other modalities, such as e.g.face detection, emotions or gaze­interaction became more and more involved, so that nowadays multimodalinteraction is already reality on advanced smartphones.This talk will highlight some of these developments by explaining some of the underpinning methods formultimodal HCI, such as statistical pattern recognition and machine intelligence techniques, including deeplearning methods. The talk will conclude with the presentation of two relatively new emerging application areasinvolving a high degree of multimodality: The first one is the area of human­robot interaction (HRI), whichbecame popular due to the transition of robots from autonomously acting machines in factories to interactiveassistants for cooperation with humans. The other is in the emerging area of human­to­human communication.Here we present a novel system for videoconferencing, where Augmented Reality (AR) methods are employedin order to project a user interactively into the environment of the other conference participant.

3. Professor Limsoon Wong (National University of Singapore)Limsoon Wong is a professor of computer science at the NationalUniversity of Singapore.

He was a co­recipient of the ICDT 2014 Test ofTime Award for his work on naturally embedded query languages. Limsoonserves on the editorial boards of Information Systems, IEEE Transactionson Big Data, Biology Direct, Drug Discovery Today, etc. He co­foundedMolecular Connections, an information extraction and curation servicescompany in India, and oversaw its steady growth over the past decade to

some 1000 research engineers, scientists, and curators.Talk: Some issues that are often overlooked in big data analyticsThe arrival of the “big data” era is opening up new avenues in business, healthcare, etc. Much attention hasbeen paid to scaling challenges arising from the huge increase in volume, velocity, and variety. Not as muchattention has been paid to non­scaling­related issues that affect a number of fundamental assumptions incurrent statistical analysis approaches. Having more data is tremendously helpful in some analysis procedures.At the same time, having more data can also make the same analysis procedures fail in fundamental ways. Wediscuss some examples of these issues and how they might be fixed.

Talk: Cyber­Physical­Social Data Fusion in IoT

Internet of Things (IoT) brings us to the new era of information where information can be collected andcommunicated among everybody and everything and anything. In this way, cyberspace, physical space andhuman knowledge and social activities can be synchronized to bring us an ability to monitor the real world underdifferent facets. That will help us to discover useful knowledge from gathered information from cyber­ physical­social space and turn these knowledge to wisdoms. In this talk, I am going to discuss the platform for Cyber­Physical­ Social Data Fusion that can be built on top of IoT. Event Data Warehouse, being developed by NICT,provides functionality for collecting, integrating, analyzing and visualizing multi­sourced heterogeneous sensingdata from cyber, physical social spaces. The fundamental technologies and potential applications of the EventData Warehouse are introduced as well as some recent reserch issues.

He also received APSIPA ASC 2014 Best Paper Award.Talk: Graph signal processing: Extracting information from signals on networksGraph signal processing is an emerging field of signal processing. It aims to extract useful information fromsignals on complex (and possibly large­scale) networks. In graph signal processing, signals are treated as graphsignals; each element is placed onto a vertex of a graph. Signal processing tasks, e.g., compression, filtering,denoising, and inpainting, will be very efficient and intuitive when we consider graph spectral domainrepresentation of graph signals. There exists numerous applications in sensor network, social network, brainnetwork and image processing. First, fundamentals of graph signal processing are introduced in this talk, suchas graph Fourier transform, graph filtering, and downsampling. Then some recent works from my research groupin graph wavelet/filter bank design and denoising of graph signals are presented.

In this talk, I would like to introduce you to an interdisciplinary research area of computer and music. At a firstglance, music may be considered subjective, ambiguous, and aesthetic. In reality, however, manymusicologists and musicians have been devoting much effort to developing a music theory for understandingand creating music in the systematic and analytic way. My colleagues and I have been formalizing andcomputerizing such a music theory. This talk will focus on some recent results of my work; in particular, thedata representation of musical structures such as a melody and a rhythm, the distance between melodiessuitable for computer calculation, and the algebraic operations for melodies.

His research topics are knowledge engineering on social networksby using many types of AI methodologies, e.g., data mining, machine learning, and logical reasoning. Recently,he have been working on intelligent schemes to understand various social dynamics in large scale social media(e.g., Twitter and Flickr). Talk: Social Data Analytics and Knowledge Management In this talk, we will survey the state of the art technologies on knowledge management systems (KMS) and theemerging social networking services (SNS). A lot of social activities on SNS are expected to stimulate the KMS(e.g., enriching the knowledge). Thereby, in this talk, we will discuss several issues on integratingthe meaningful features of SNS into KMS.
