USC Programming Contest
Sun, Sep 26, 2010 @ 01:00 PM - 06:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Receptions & Special Events
From the event page here: http://contest.usc.edu/
Have fun!
Extend your resume!
Show how smart you are!
Impress your friends!
Win cash and other prizes!
Represent USC at the ACM Programming Contest!
Do you like to solve problems like the following ones?
* To pay your friends a dollar, you can give them, for example, four quarters, or five dimes and ten nickels. Write a program that calculates how many different combinations of coins there are that make up a given amount of money (say, 20 dollars) from pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.
* You are given the description of a lake as a polygon, as well as your own position in a boat somewhere on the lake. When you throw a rock in the water, the waves travel away from the impact point at a speed of 1 meter per second. Write a program to calculate the earliest time at which a wave will hit the shore.
* You are given the names of n people who are to be divided into k alphabetical segments, for instance, to stand in line for registration at USC. An "alphabetical segment" consists of all people whose last name starts with a letter between two given endpoints (for example, D-H). Write a program that finds a division into k alphabetical segments such that each person is in exactly one segment, and the number of people in the largest segment is minimized.
Participate in the USC Programming Contest!
The contest is open to all undergraduate and graduate USC students, regardless of major, as long as they were born in (current year - 23) or later.
We use the USC Programming Contests to pick students that we train for the ACM Regional Programming Contest. If you like all details of the USC Programming Contests and would like to keep updated about the contests, you can subscribe to the USC contest mailing list.

CS Colloquium
Tue, Sep 28, 2010 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Prof. Irfan Essa, Georgia Tech/ School of Interactive Computing
Talk Title: Two Short Talks on Video Analysis (1) Segmentation of Video and (2) Prediction of Actions in Video
Abstract: My research group is focused on a variety of approaches for video analysis and synthesis. In this talk, I will concentrate on two of our recent efforts. One effort aimed at robust spatio-temporal segmentation of video and another on using motion and flow to predict actions from video.
In the first part of the talk, I will present an efficient and scalable technique for spatio-temporal segmentation of long video sequences using a hierarchical graph-based algorithm. In this work, we begin by over egmenting a volumetric video graph into space-time regions grouped by appearance. We then construct a "region graph" over the obtained segmentation and iteratively repeat this process over multiple levels to
create a tree of spatio-temporal segmentations. This hierarchical approach generates high quality segmentations, which are temporally coherent with stable region boundaries, and allows subsequent applications to choose from varying levels of granularity. We further improve segmentation quality by using dense optical flow to guide temporal connections in the initial graph. I will demonstrate a variety of examples of how this robust segmentation works, and will show additional examples of video-retargeting that use spatio-temporal saliency derived from this segmentation approach. (Matthias Grundmann, Vivek Kwatra, Mei Han, Irfan Essa, CVPR 2010, in collaboration with Google Research).
In the second part of this talk, I will show that constrained multi-agent events can be analyzed and even predicted from video. Such analysis requires estimating the global movements of all players in the scene at any time, and is needed for modeling and predicting how the multi-agent play evolves over time on the playing field. To this end, we propose a novel approach to detect the locations of where the play evolution will proceed, e.g. where interesting events will occur, by tracking player positions and movements over time. To achieve this, we extract the ground level sparse movement of players in each time-step, and then generate a dense motion field. Using this field we detect locations where the motion converges, implying positions towards which the play is evolving. I will show examples of how we have tested this approach for soccer, basketball and hockey. (Kihwan Kim, Matthias Grundmann, Ariel Shamir, Iain Matthews, Jessica Hodgins, Irfan Essa, CVPR 2010, in collaboration with Disney Research). Time permitting, I will show some more videos of our recent work on video analysis and synthesis. For more information, papers, and videos, see my website at http://prof.irfanessa.com/
Biography: Irfan Essa is a Professor in the School of Interactive Computing(iC) of the College of Computing (CoC), and Adjunct Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology(GA Tech), in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

"Enemy Number One": Lion Feuchtwanger and the Literature of Exile
Wed, Sep 29, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
The USC Libraries are home to the papers and library of historical novelist Lion Feuchtwanger, who escaped his native Germany after Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933. Because he was an outspoken critic of the Nazi Party, the Nazis ordered his books burned and declared him âEnemy Number One.â The libraries recently published a new edition of Feuchtwangerâs The Devil in France, a memoir of his internment and escape from Nazi-occupied France. He wrote movingly about the political situation in Europe and his experiences as an exiled writer. He later escaped to Los Angeles, where Theodor Adorno, Bertolt Brecht, Fritz Lang, Thomas Mann and other German émigré artists and intellectuals gathered during World War II. Feuchtwangerâs story illuminates the struggles faced by artists who speak truth to power and endure exile from their native countries.
In conjunction with this new publication and in honor of Banned Books Week, join us for a panel discussion on censorship, repression and writing in exile with Feuchtwanger Fellow Christopher Mlalazi, a Zimbabwean playwright and poet who was placed under government surveillance for writing critically about the Mugabe regime; Michelle Gordon, professor of English at USC; Wolf Gruner, professor of history at USC; and Cornelius Schnauber, director of USCâs Max Kade Institute. Following the panel, visit USCâs Feuchtwanger Memorial Library and see an exhibition of rare photos and other materials related to German exiles in Los Angeles.
Admission is free.
Refreshments will be served.

Speaker: Dr. David Cesario, Assoc. Prof. of Medicine, Cardiac Electrophysiology, Keck School of Medicine, USC
Talk Title: Engineering in Cardiac Electrophysiology
Abstract: Cardiac electrophysiology is a field with tremendous interaction between engineering and medicine. On a daily basis we use tools such as implantable pacemakers to improve patient's lives by increasing their heart rates. We also place implantable cardioverter defibrillators that have the potential to rescue patients from life threatening arrhythmias. Additionally, we use tools to map abnormal heart rhythms to their exact location within the heart and then to ablate the abnormal cardiac arrhythmias, potentially curing these arrhythmias. The goal of this talk is to expose students to some of the engineering technology that is used in cardiac electrophysiology to better patients lives and improve their health.

Shining a Light on Corruption: The Story of Two Journalists in the Republic of China
Fri, Oct 01, 2010 @ 12:00 PM - 01:30 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Tao and Vicky Lee are broadcast journalists and media personalities in Taiwan who have been pioneers in the field, leading the way in the practice of journalism in their country. Tao Lee studied journalism at the University of Missouri where his experiences gave him a solid footing in the professional practice that was at odds with the way journalism was traditionally practiced in China. Shortly after martial law was lifted in the early 1990s, he started pushing the boundaries of censorship on the radio, and then on TVBS, a nationwide cable television network in Taiwan. His news program investigated Chen Shui-bian, president of Taiwan, and exposed his corruption on the air before the station could be shut down. As a result of the charges against him, Chen was arrested In November 2008, and sentenced to prison for life. This insightful discussion by these two seasoned journalists will provide historical and current perspectives on the present state of media in the Republic of China. The program will be moderated by Geneva Overholser, director of journalism for the USC Annenberg School.
