1.   Summary

Status presentations of the various Rescue subgroups.  Prep for upcoming visits and demos.

2.   Agenda

2:00 - 4:00     Groups presentations.  All students working on projects/demos to present
4:00 - 5:00     Break out into discussion groups

3.   Discussion

SM:         *Dmitri in charge of meeting, equipment.

                March 17 infrastructure, site visit.

                Net & video infrastructure at UCI.

                Map to an emergency drill.

                The equipment will help with the drills.

                *Need 2 students/people at 25% time; asking for volunteers.

                [Everyone takes two steps back.]

                *Will assign volunteers offline.

DK:         [CAMAS1 Status Presentation][slide show]

HL:          [Status][slideshow]

                Run and evaluation of facilities data on original Camas system.

SM:         (1) Representation of events in db.

                (2) Location – test Room # extraction

                (3) Date – granularity

                *Don’t artificially create raw report.

                Matching to problem type is too easy.

                The keywords almost always appear in the “problem type” field.

                *Demo extraction using context.

                Rule-based, eg, VisualText.

                Stanford method.

-          Auto extract conent of web pages.

-          Non-ML, ad hoc auto extraction papers

ML-based, e.g., Mooney at Austin.

*NEW. Extraction given context, knowledge.

- Looking up in db (e.g., room #)

*Triaging.

*Adaptive filtering.

We’re not showing the research aspects yet.

CB:          How related to research, facilities?

                *STORY is important at this point.

                Start with something simple, available like facilities data.

SM:         Raw data -> event.

                Voice, video, sensor data, text all combined.

                1st year == TEXT.  Then on to other sources.

CB:          These are “problems” similar to the rescue tasks.

SM:         What is new, researchy.

CB:          Issue is funding, not 1st year review.

All:          Have research funding, need equiemtn.

CB:          Event occurrence, given a report.

SM:         *Extraction with context and knowledge.

                Framework for event IE with context and knowledge.

                What analyzer?

                Why manual phrase lookup?

AM:        [Status]

                [Deferred dataset slides]

                [Demo of analyzers and their status]

Scramble – process and dumb scramble of facilities data.

                Simple scrambling won’t work.

Camaskb – process problem/location tree from Haimin.

Synonym – VisualText version of synonym handling.

Camas1 – process the old Camas input texts [not shown].

Hdesk – process UCI help desk emails.

Crime – process, normalize various police crime logs for Alternate 911.

All:          [Discuss] Synonym analyzer – take discussion offline.

KA:         Automated ML-based methods for crime logs with given problem type.

SM:         Is it a new problem [event] or one of 20 existing problems.

                *Interact with use to get to problem.

                *Classify problems, differences among problems.

                E.g., disambiguate 5 car accidents based on differences.

                Reading off the problem list to the user is not research.

Jehan:     [Privacy Preserving Video Surveillance][slideshow]

Mahesh:                65m range vs 5m range. Two types.

                RFID tags.

                Collisions, walls.

CB:          Indirect inferences.

                Fm anomalies in trajectories.

                Eg, movement of people in groups.

SM:         *Privacy preservation in terms of data collection.

YM:        [Adaptive Filtering]

                [This notetaker left about 4:50pm –AM]

4.   Action Items

DK:         In charge of March 17 meeting and equipment.

AM:        Extract problem types from facilities reports.

AM:        Ask Leslie about CAD data from facilities.
