Machine Learning in Support of Family Coordination

Google Tech Talk (more info below)
June 1, 2011

Presented by Scott Davidoff, Ph.D.

ABSTRACT

This talk describes how my work with busy families:
(1) identifies how their coordination breaks down (from 3 years of fieldwork and experience prototyping)
(2) Identifies how we can apply unsupervised machine learning to this problem context (using mobile phone GPS)
(3) Creates a new way to visualize the calendar that combines manually input and learned information

Look at 9:15 -- the new app translates a family's plan into a compact visual form.

@LiquidZ2k I see where your coming from personally I think its quite humerus that there is a product manager at AOL named John Lenon. I know you probably only clicked the video for the information not to waste your time with introductions. To each his/her own :-)

This is such a boring presenter, and his start does not motivate me to listen at all.

It takes 6 minutes before he even starts to go on about what he is going to talk about.

Ten hour work-week is a much better idea in 21th century. Parents would actually be with their kids instead of "inventing" another crap service or product trying desperately to survive. We already are in a vicious cycle of servicing vicious cycles of economic life that long ceased to be economic and is in fact anti-economic. Stop feeding this mutant.
