PhD Seminar • Computer Graphics — AnimationPak: Packing Elements with Scripted Animations

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Reza Adhitya Saputra, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

We present AnimationPak, a technique to create animated packings by arranging animated two-dimensional elements inside a static container. We represent animated elements in a three-dimensional spacetime domain, and view the animated packing problem as a three-dimensional packing in that domain. Every element is represented as a discretized spacetime mesh.

PhD Seminar • Natural Language Processing — Where’s the Question? A Multi-channel Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Question Identification in Textual Data

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Georgios Michalopoulos, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisors: Professors Helen Chen and Ian McKillop

In this study, we investigated the key characteristics exhibited by questions in medical narrative data (e.g., review logs) in order to uncover the most impactful variables on data quality issues during the data entry and review process of a real-word clinical system.
