2 0.40266708 99 hunch net-2005-08-01-Peekaboom
Introduction: Luis has released Peekaboom a successor to ESPgame ( game site ). The purpose of the game is similar—using the actions of people playing a game to gather data helpful in solving AI. Peekaboom gathers more detailed, and perhaps more useful, data about vision. For ESPgame, the byproduct of the game was mutually agreed upon labels for common images. For Peekaboom, the location of the subimage generating the label is revealed by the game as well. Given knowledge about what portion of the image is related to a label it may be more feasible learn to recognize the appropriate parts. There isn’t a dataset yet available for this game as there is for ESPgame, but hopefully a significant number of people will play and we’ll have one to work wtih soon.
3 0.25318003 159 hunch net-2006-02-27-The Peekaboom Dataset
Introduction: Luis von Ahn ‘s Peekaboom project has yielded data (830MB). Peekaboom is the second attempt (after Espgame ) to produce a dataset which is useful for learning to solve vision problems based on voluntary game play. As a second attempt, it is meant to address all of the shortcomings of the first attempt. In particular: The locations of specific objects are provided by the data. The data collection is far more complete and extensive. The data consists of: The source images. (1 file per image, just short of 60K images.) The in-game events. (1 file per image, in a lispy syntax.) A description of the event language. There is a great deal of very specific and relevant data here so the hope that this will help solve vision problems seems quite reasonable.

Introduction: Lev Reyzin points out the CI Fellows program is renewed . CI Fellows are essentially NSF funded computer science postdocs for universities and industry research labs. I’ve been lucky and happy to have Lev visit me for a year under last year’s program , so I strongly recommend participating if it suits you. As with last year, the application timeline is very short, with everything due by May 23.

4 0.65030187 20 hunch net-2005-02-15-ESPgame and image labeling
Introduction: Luis von Ahn has been running the espgame for awhile now. The espgame provides a picture to two randomly paired people across the web, and asks them to agree on a label. It hasn’t managed to label the web yet, but it has produced a large dataset of (image, label) pairs. I organized the dataset so you could explore the implied bipartite graph (requires much bandwidth). Relative to other image datasets, this one is quite large—67000 images, 358,000 labels (average of 5/image with variation from 1 to 19), and 22,000 unique labels (one every 3 images). The dataset is also very ‘natural’, consisting of images spidered from the internet. The multiple label characteristic is intriguing because ‘learning to learn’ and metalearning techniques may be applicable. The ‘natural’ quality means that this dataset varies greatly in difficulty from easy (predicting “red”) to hard (predicting “funny”) and potentially more rewarding to tackle. The open problem here is, of course, to make

Introduction: Lev Reyzin points out the CI Fellows Project . Essentially, NSF is funding 60 postdocs in computer science for graduates from a wide array of US places to a wide array of US places. This is particularly welcome given a tough year for new hires. I expect some fraction of these postdocs will be in ML. The time frame is quite short, so those interested should look it over immediately.

Introduction: IJCAI is running January 6-12 in Hyderabad India rather than a more traditional summer date. (Presumably, this is to avoid melting people in the Indian summer.) The paper deadline(June 23 abstract / June 30 submission) are particularly inconvenient if you attend COLT or ICML . But on the other hand, it’s a good excuse to visit India.
4 0.42892843 140 hunch net-2005-12-14-More NIPS Papers II
Introduction: I thought this was a very good NIPS with many excellent papers. The following are a few NIPS papers which I liked and I hope to study more carefully when I get the chance. The list is not exhaustive and in no particular order… Preconditioner Approximations for Probabilistic Graphical Models. Pradeeep Ravikumar and John Lafferty. I thought the use of preconditioner methods from solving linear systems in the context of approximate inference was novel and interesting. The results look good and I’d like to understand the limitations. Rodeo: Sparse nonparametric regression in high dimensions. John Lafferty and Larry Wasserman. A very interesting approach to feature selection in nonparametric regression from a frequentist framework. The use of lengthscale variables in each dimension reminds me a lot of ‘Automatic Relevance Determination’ in Gaussian process regression — it would be interesting to compare Rodeo to ARD in GPs. Interpolating between types and tokens by estimating
