Information Retrieval Seamless integration of database (DB) and information retrieval (IR) technologies Roellecke, Azzam

e.g. New algorithm for measuring mental categories Category of Happy Faces Human Cognition Hsu

Thermodynamics of Confidentiality Malacaria, Smeraldi Just like forging a bigger lock, running a safer algorithm requires more energy The energy involved is tiny, but enough to affect the dynamics of e.g. a molecular computer Source: E. Shapiro and Y. Benenson, bringing DNA computers to life, Scientific American, May 2006

Unifying Active Discovery and Learning interactively explore what categories are present in a new domain and learn to differentiate them… with minimal number of human interactions E.g., discover and learn to detect hacking attempts Image Databases Network Security Surveillance Medicine Astronomy Hospedales
