==Rus: Transportation==
 +
* Rus.  Transportation in Singapore.  Singapore small country. 16,000 taxis.  High number of loops embedded in streets.  Can sample of taxis with GPS be used to approximate well the real traffic given (every 15 minutes) by loops (expensive to maintain).
 +
* taxis can yield data every 30 sec to 1 min.
 +
* Loops every 15 min.
 +
* problem = can taxis be used?
 +
* answer: not a good representative
 +
* use linear regression to find coefficients during time windows. Windows cannot be too small.
 +
* taxi data can be represented by Markov chains so a sample is representative of the whole population (I didn't get that)
 +
* After applying model, can see that a sample of taxis (maybe 1000) can be good at estimating real traffic.
 +
----
 +
;Problems
 +
: goes very quickly over concepts.  Like markov chains
 +
: holly jump from one problem to a solution.  No explaining.
 +
: The slides given as support are way too small.  Hard to see unless manipulate and make bigger
 +
: when using full screen for the video, transcript overlaps with right quarter of video.
 +
 +
==Madden: MapD==
 +
* Presents a products generated at MIT: MadD
 +
* shows that you can geo locate words in tweets to geographical location
 +
* no real applications.  "So what?"
 +
* Links

=Complaints=
 +
* Quiz not satisfying
 +
* Forced to contribute to discussion: Ok
 +
* Forced to comment on somebody else's comment: bad
 +
* Should be on each course, rather than on each unit
 +
* Plenty to complain about regarding UI

<br />
 +
=Ideas for Presentation=
 +
* Great idea for syllabus for new course
 +
* Great way to learn new techniques in algorithms: streaming vs sampling
 +
* Great way to get a student to learn new material for independent study or for thesis (UI)
 +
* Great way to find some organization to a given subject: UI for example
 +
* Simplicity of presentation hardware
 +
* For UI, invent system that allow users to not have to program
 +
* Good to watch videos twice in a row.
 +
* HD essential for graphs
 +
* Office hours 2-3 times by a few profs.  Use Cisco WebEx for office hours.  About 47 participants.  Audio only.
