Master of Science Project Defense by: Zicong Zhao
- Location: > See description for location
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: DEVELOPING AN ANDROID BASED TEXT-MINING APPLICATION
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Android is becoming one of the most popular mobile platforms for smartphone users. In this project, I developed an Android based application in which some keywords can be highlighted automatically while users read electronic articles from either the local disk or online website. The application is realized by using text-mining algorithms that can automatically extract keywords and highlight them for users. The advantage of this application is to save the users'time especially when they read some long electronic articles (e.g., blog, news, research papers). In this project, I also investigated other possible solutions for the application and presented the limitation of our implementation.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
Advisor: Dr. Honggang Wang
Committee Members: Dr. Liudong Xing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Dr. Haiping Xu, Department of Computer & Information Science

ECE Seminar* Speaker: Dr. Jill Nelson, George Mason University, Virginia
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: COGNITIVE SONAR: INTELLIGENT PROCESSING TO REDUCE OPERATOR BURDEN AND DECISION DELAY
Speaker: Dr. Jill Nelson, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, George Mason University, Virginia
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
Abstract:
In active sonar systems, acoustic waveforms (pings) are transmitted, and reflections of those pings are used to locate objects in the ocean. Sonar surveillance systems perform two primary tasks: search and track. Historically, most systems have operated in a fixed manner that does not allow for adaptation to a given set of search and track goals. Our work focuses on developing models for incorporating high-level decision-making, or cognitive processing, in active sonar systems. We aim to leverage existing work in the artificial intelligence, optimization, and radar realms to develop potential models applicable to high-level sonar automation. Cognitive sonar systems will be designed to support high-level tasks from operators, e.g. a request to more closely monitor a particular object or a specified region of the surveillance space. Cognitive systems will translate such tasks to a set of parameter adaptations and will arbitrate among competing demands on the system. Initial models for intelligent systems will consider adaptation of waveform, ping rate, detection threshold, and beam steering. As this work is in its early stages, we will describe the motivation for the work and the proposed models for automated parameter adaptation. We will also present preliminary results on adapting detection thresholds based on environmental observations, and we will discuss challenges that arise in mapping environmental observations to parameter adjustments.

Women, Art and Fibers: Contemporary Responses to Abolition and the Journey North
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 285 Old Westport Road, North Dartmouth
Exhibition dates: March 8, 2017 - April 4, 2017
Opening Reception: Wednesday, March 8, 4-6 pm, Comments by the Artists: 5 pm
Guest-Curated by Laurie Carlson Steger and Dr. Memory Holloway
Exhibiting Artists: Cathryn Amidei, Suzi Ballenger, Laurie Carlson Steger, Sonja Dahl, Barbara Eychaner, Brooks Harris Stevens, Karen Hampton, Margaret Leininger, Faith Ringgold, Linda Rhynard, Marcia Weiss, plus members of the Sisters in Stitches Joined by the Cloth Quilt group, Naomi Henry, Lesyslie Rackard, Christie Rawlins-Jackson, Kimberly Radcliffe, and Susi Ryan
Women, Art and Fibers: Contemporary Responses to Abolition and The Journey North, focuses on the influences of the slave trade, the whaling industry and the textile industry which linked New Bedford MA and Savannah, GA.
The exhibition, hguest-curated by Laurie Carlson Steger and Dr. Memory Holloway, with work by fifteen fiber artists from across the nation, includes historic garments from the Rotch-Jones Duff House and Garden Museum as well as a story quilt from the New Bedford Historical Society. The opening reception with the comments by the artists is held on Wednesday, March 8, from 4 to 6 pm. Visitors are advised to use Parking Lot 7. An exhibition catalog written by Dr. Memory Holloway, will be available.
The selected works respond to local Quaker and abolitionist histories and stories of the enslaved who escaped via the Underground Railroad, often passing through New Bedford. Traditional and contemporary textile techniques and materials create artworks of compelling solidarity and stature that unite a diverse community.
The exhibition is held in conjunction with International Women's Month, and New Bedford's Fiber Art Month.
This program is supported in part by a grant from the Dartmouth Cultural Council, which is a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
Additionally, we would like to thank the following for their generous assistance in making this exhibition possible: ACA Galleries in New York City, LCH Designs, New Bedford Historical Society, Rotch-Jones-Duff House and Garden, Sisters in Stitches Joined by the Cloth with special thanks to Anderson Airmotive Products Company Inc., Fall River, MA.
