For this project, a system was designed to rst identify whether or not an email mentioned a movie, and if it does, to extract the title, time and date of the movie in question. The classi er used to determine whether an email is a movie or non-movie is an extension of the Naive Bayes classi er. The classi er was fairly successful in terms of precision, although it tended to yield a lot of false...

A. L. Narasimha Reddy IBM Almaden Research Center 650 Harry Road San Jose, CA 95120. [email protected] Abstract In this paper, we will address the problem of distributing and scheduling movies on a multiprocessor video server. We will also address the issue of scheduling communication over the multiprocessor switch for the playback of the scheduled movies. A solution is proposed in this pap...

$%675$&7 Transfer of knowledge is important in learning environments. Especially virtual tutors have difficulties in reading what is on students’ minds. In this exploratory experiment participants’ brain and heart signals were measured during the playback of a movie to predict possible loss of attention. The movie contained an actor explaining a task. Participants were divided into two groups: ...

Hemodynamic activity in occipital, temporal, and parietal cortical areas were recently shown to correlate across subjects during viewing of a 30-minute movie clip. However, most of the frontal cortex lacked between-subject correlations. Here we presented 12 healthy naïve volunteers with the first 72 minutes of a movie ("Crash", 2005, Lions Gate Films) outside of the fMRI scanner to involve the ...

Many imaging techniques (MRI, CT) map values from threedimensional space. Such data is often easier to analyze using volume graphics, which allows for the visualization of a three-dimensional grid of data values. Such models can give a more intuitive sense of structures and their locations. Using methods such as this to show changes over time, one can gain a clear visual model of complex biolog...

Using box-office data for all movies released between 1982 and 2000, I test the implications of a simple model of social learning in which the consumption decisions of individuals depend on information they receive from their peers. The model predicts different box office sales dynamics depending on whether opening weekend demand is higher or lower than expected. I use a unique feature of the m...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether, as has been hypothesised since medieval times, acute fear can curdle blood. DESIGN Crossover trial. SETTING Main meeting room of Leiden University's Department of Clinical Epidemiology, the Netherlands, converted to a makeshift cinema. PARTICIPANTS 24 healthy volunteers aged ≤30 years recruited among students, alumni, and employees of the Leiden University Med...

This paper presents INTIMATE, a web-based movie recommender that makes suggestions by using text categorization to learn from movie synopses The performance of various feature representations, feature selectors, feature weighting mechanisms and classifiers is evaluated and discussed. INTIMATE was also compared with a feature-based movie recommender. The results show that the text-based approach...
