1.   Summary

 

2.   Agenda

SM:         Demo status.

                Data set status.

                Dissemination

                Camas1 – Dmitri

                Surveillance – Jehan/Mahesh

                Filtering – Qi/Yiming

                Alternate 911 – Kemal.

                Reliability - Fabio

3.   Discussion

DK:         *AM to improve extraction in Camas.

AM:        Facilities data available.  Not extraction so much as normalization.

SM:         [Summary of 2-day-earlier meeting with UCI ICS Helpdesk, NACS, Facilities, EMC]

NV:         Improve problem tree.

                Use data as real input.

SM:         Classification on NACS, ICS Helpdesk.

                On email reports.

                Learning from pre-classified email set.

                Not speech, no word-spotting.

                Adaptive models.

DK:         Borrow Smyth algorithms.

SM:         Somewhat different problem from ours.

                Smyth is extending LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing).

                We: interactive learning from misclassification.

                Could use Smyth work as a starting point.

DK:         Names the classes with concatenation of keywords.

                Could interactively rename.

SM:         *Could get their code.

-          Classification.

-          Interesting: set of attributes, auto extract values from the text itself.

Text-based

-          Go from voice/speech

*DK, Monday, scheme for doing this end-to-end system.

Raw data to event representation.

Initial thoughts, design, flow diagram, instantiation, example model.

?:             This is research, may or may not work.

SM:         March 19 site visit.

                Carter found transcripts of 9/11.

DK:         *Someone to beautify the Camas web pages.

SM:         *Separate Camas1 demo plan; assign tasks.

                *Submit plan to SM, CB, NV, PS for feedback.

Jehan:     [Surveillance Status]

                Hardware order status, in progress.

                Crypto techniques.

NV:         Model an airport.

                Rooms, video cams.

All:          [Filtering Status]

                [Event Extraction]

                End to end.

Jehan:     Speech architecture already at UCSD.

SM:         Time is short, but use it in the future.

                Integrate with theirs.

                Like the AT&T HMIHY system.

                They built traffic advisory via speech interface.

                Interactive navigation through help space.

                Simple, stupid.

                *We want to incorporate, extend speech technology itself.

                UCSC focus is noisy environment.

CB:          Don’t want to step on each other’s toes.

Divvy up tasks, else turf wars.

SM:         Shino commonality. Can we use?

                No privacy.

                Not asking us for products, results.

                Linda Bogue – UCI Emergency Management.

                70 emergency workers at UCI.

NV:         Simulated drill.

SM:         They’re open to working with us on drill, UCI-wide.

                *CB is point of contact.

CB:          This is an argument for instrumenting the campus during drills.

                Help reconstruct what happened.

                To help with future drills.

                By March:

(1)     Difficult for her; we develop.

(2)     Letter of support.

(3)     Phyiscal presence – ok with Linda.

Eval what happened.

SM:         Leery of their plan, imagination.

                May be copied from elsewhere.

NV:         Little dependence on technology.

CB:          (1) Tech for studying what they do.

                (2) Give them the tech later on.

SM:         Not integrated yet, we can do this.

                Real, integrated university drill.

                Field deployment.

SM:         [Dissemination Research]

                Xingbo.

                Peer-to-peer dissemination papers.

                Mayur.

                Proposal.

(1)     Develop system fro contextualized dissemination.

-          To field workers.

-          (main focus) To the public.

First and second-hand accounts.

Watching news, cellphones on.

Estimates of channels, tech, logins.

Design contextualized dissem solutions for this scenario.

CG:          NTSC (?) report on effective dissem solutions.

                Need a standard.

                Electronic – on website.

                And people who don’t have access.

                Sirens!

                Selectivity – else warnings are ignored.

All:          Champagne storm – siren didn’t work.

SM:         Security authentication, trust issue here.

NV:         ABC networking – Always Best Connected.

                Cellular, wireless LAN, Bluetooth…

                Seamlessly use the best that’s accessible.

Chen:      Highway board.

?:             Individualized maps disseminated, eg.

SM:         Dynamic creation of peer-to-peer network.

NV,CB:   Barriers.

                Language

                Disability

                Technology availability.

SM,CB:  Cellphone companies – demographic information.

                Privacy preserving.

Xinbo:    [FUDAN][PEER SDI]

                Selective Dissemination Information.

                SIFT – Stanford U system, example.

All:          [Xinbgo continued]

                [Trying to understand the model]

                [Mapping dissemination model to handle disaster]

                [Discussion…]

                What goes into a profile.

                What is disseminated.

SM:         [Whiteboard]

                [

                Dissemination

                1. Within emergency response network

                                a. Peer to peer

                                b. Commands, downstream echelons

                2. Public

                                a. Group

                                b. Individual

                   Naming -> verification

                3. Resource discovery through network

                ]

GS:          United.

                Radio.

CB:          Old phone tree.

NV:         *Dissemination group?

[Note taker leaves 4:15 – AM]

 

4.   Action Items

 

All:          Presentation from each group, 2 weeks from now.

CB:          Contact Linda Bogue. (AM give ctc info – or Google ;-)

DK:         Monday, scheme for an end-to-end system. 1 page writeup.
