Social Computing on the Rise...
November 2009. Mr. Craig Mundie, the Chief Research and Strategy Officer, Microsoft Corporation visited us yesterday to deliver a talk on “Rethinking Computing”. In his talk, Mr. Mundie discussed about the future of computing and lo and behold, one of the emerging topics is “Social Computing” as prominently display in his presentation slide. Well, we will see more and more integration of social components in future software developments.
More information on the event is available <here>.
“We're really trying to change the nature of software…to move it beyond the point and click model of computing to something where people will have a much more natural way of interacting with the machines…I think increasingly we'll be able to talk to our computer and it will talk back…it may even be possible for it to anticipate some of the things we want to do and just do them for us.”

SIGIR2007 and IJCNN2007...
July and August 2007. The trips to SIGIR2007, Amsterdam, the Netherlands in July and IJCNN2007, Orlando, USA were fruitful and productive. Met up with some good old friends as well as made some new friends along the way. A special event took place at IJCNN where over 45 Chinese scholars gathered for a meal and a photo. This is the most number of Chinese scholars gathering in recent history. I am glad to see different scholars are in the academic as well as industry working on various interesting projects relating to computational intelligence.
Seminar on "Wikis--Tools for Collaborative Content Management" at ASTRI...
Prof. Irwin King will be presenting a seminar on “Wikis–Tools for Collaborative Content Management” at ASTRI on Wednesday, January 31, 2007 at 11:00 AM.
The abstract of the presentation is as follows:
With Wikipedia being one of the most prominent showcases, wikis are gaining popularity as web-based tools for knowledge creation, organizational coordination, and collaborative content management. What makes wikis so attractive to be used in a community's technological infrastructure? This talk will explore the wikis by tracing the historical path leading to Web 2.0, highlighting some important features, outlining the underlying architecture and system components, and pointing out some emerging technical and social issues relating to building, deploying, and using wikis.
Seminar on "Local, Global, and Hybrid Learning" at Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan on November 4, 2005...
The use of classifiers permeates in various fields of engineering and science disciplines. When constructing classifiers, there is a dichotomy in choosing whether to use local vs. global characteristics of the input data. In this talk, we will describe our work on combining the local and global learning in the Maxi-Min Margin Machine (M^4). M^4 presents a unifying theory that subsumes the Support Vector Machine (SVM), the Minimax Probability Machine (MPM), and the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). While LDA and MPM focus on building the decision plane using global information and SVM focuses on building the decision plane in a local manner, M^4 incorporates these two seemingly different yet complementary characteristics in a unifying framework that achieves good classification accuracy. We will present the formulation of M^4 and also experimental results to show the advantage of our novel model.
Salisbury II Are The Champs!
June 2, 2007. Prof. King coaches the 12U Salisbury II team in the Hong Kong Youth Inline Hockey League (HKYIHL) sponsored by the YMCA during his spare time on Saturdays.

In addition to taking the Gold, the Salisbury II also finished the regular season as the Champs by winning 11 out of 15 games with 10-game winning streaks (15-game winning streaks including the play-offs). Congratulations to the players (Jonathan Chow, Brian Groebsch (G), Peter Hadiwibawa, Jordan Ho, Daniel King, Ethan Knierim, Matthew Ngai, Matthias Pieth (G), Thomas Pieth, and Jack Woods) for a wonderful year at the King's Park Centenary Centre (KPCC)!
