Processing Visual Images
Abstract
The back of the eye is lined by an extraordinary biological pixel detector, the retina. This neural network is able to extract vital information about the external visual world, and transmit this information in a timely manner to the brain. In this talk, Professor Litke will describe a system that has been implemented to study how the retina processes and encodes dynamic visual images. Based on techniques and expertise acquired in the development of silicon microstrip detectors for high energy physics experiments, this system can simultaneously record the extracellular electrical activity of hundreds of retinal output neurons. After presenting first results obtained with this system, Professor Litke will describe additional applications of this incredible technology.

T.Rex Visual Analytics for Transactional Exploration
T.Rex is PNNL's visual analytics tool that specializes in tabular structured data, like you might open with Excel. It's a client-server application, allowing the server to do a lot of the heavy lifting and the client to open spreadsheets with millions of rows. With datasets of that size, especially if you're unfamiliar with the contents, it's very hard to get a good grasp of what's in it using traditional tools. With T.Rex, the multiple views allow you to see categorical, temporal, numerical, relational, and summary data. The interactivity lets you look across your data and see how things relate tomore » -
The power of event-driven analytics in Large Scale Data Processing
FeedZai is a software company specialized in creating high--throughput low--latency data processing solutions. FeedZai develops a product called "FeedZai Pulse" for continuous event--driven analytics that makes application development easier for end users. It automatically calculates key performance indicators and baselines, showing how current performance differ from previous history, creating timely business intelligence updated to the second. The tool does predictive analytics and trend analysis, displaying data on real--time web--based graphics. In 2010 FeedZai won the European EBN Smart Entrepreneurship Competition, in the Digital Models category, being considered one of the "top--20 smart companies in Europe". The main objective of thismore »
