AI in Java Presentation
I presented a talk on the different Java artificial intelligence frameworks on April 8th, 2008 at the monthly RJUG meeting. The presentation focused on JOONE, but also contained demos of JESS and a brief overview of JGAP. I used both JOONE (artifical neural networks) and JESS (expert systems) for course projects. My slides from the presentation are available here. Two JOONE code examples were presented: XOR and RJUG Attendance Predictor (requires joone-engine.jar).
Possibilities In Computing Conference
RIT will be hosting the second annual Possibilities In Computing conference on April 2nd, 2008 from 8am to 2pm in the Golisano College atrium. It is designed for guidance counselors, computing, math and technology teachers to learn about the latest job opportunities and degree programs. I volunteered to share my experiences and thoughts with the attendees. I also got a free catered lunch out of it too :)
CS Community: Sample Technical Interview
I prepared a sample technical interview for the Speed Networking Spectacular event hosted by the CSC. It contains some general info about the technical interview process, some sample technical questions, and a mind puzzler. The questions are based on examples from Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job. You can download the document here!
IEEE Sensors 2007 Paper
The IEEE paper (Improving Measurement Accuracy in Sensor Networks by an Object Model Generation and Application) which I co-authored with Dr. Leon Reznik is now available on IEEE's website. It was prepared for the IEEE Sensors 2007 Conference in Atlanta, GA. More details can be found on my publications page.
Automatic Image Resizing
As part of my Computer Vision course project, I implemented the seam carving technique that was presented at SIGGRAPH 2007 by Avidan and Shamir. The project webpage contains full source code (Java and Matlab), references, slides, and the final report. Example images are also available in the final report.
Document and Pattern Recognition Lab
For my Master's thesis, I've decided to work in the Computer Science Department's new DPRL lab under the advisement of Dr. Richard Zanibbi. My area of research will be Human Interactive Proofs / CAPTCHAs.
Automated Testing of Web Apps Presentation
I presented a talk on Selenium on September 11th, 2007 at a recent RJUG meeting. I was first introduced to the excellent tool at my summer internship at Google this summer. My slides from the presentation are available here.
Featured Co-op Profile @ RIT
My recent co-op experience (at Google) is currently on the homepage of the RIT Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services as a featured co-op profile. The full article can be viewed here. Patrick Copeland, the Test Engineering Director at Google, recently blogged about my "Googley Adventure".
Featured in Student Spotlight
I was spotlighted by the Computer Science Department in the latest 'Undergraduate Quarterly' newsletter (Volume 2, Issue 1, Fall 20071) that was released on September 3rd, 2007. The newsletter contains important dates, announcements, a student spotlight and an alumni spotlight. The newsletter can be found scattered around the Golisano building and online here.
