What's on in Computing Science?

Date: Thursday, 5 November, 2009
Time: 11:00
Location: Sir Alwyn Williams Building, 422 Seminar Room
[ Inference Seminar ] Sequential Monte Carlo and Capacitive Sensors
Simon Rogers
In this talk I'll describe some recent work in collaboration with the HCI group on using Bayesian Inference to detect a users input and corresponding (un)certainty from capacitive sensing arrays. As distributions are generally intractable and Inference is required in real time, particle filters seem like a good option. I'll provide a brief introduction to the principle of particle filters and then talk about the particular algorithms used here. I might also risk a demo or two.
