DESCRIPTION:Today's concept of Smart Cities is that the thousands of camera
 s and sensors installed in streets and public places will make cities safe
 r and more efficient. However\, the matter of dealing intelligently with t
 he voluminous data is often ignored. I will discuss how our video analytic
 s work attempts to balance edge-cloud issues and learning methods (unsuper
 vised\, active\, deep) to facilitate effective decisions and predictions f
 or large-scale public spaces.\n\nSafety and efficiency alone do not make g
 reat cities. I will also discuss art that makes use of public space camera
 s. Fifty years after Bell Labs' Experiments in Art and Technologies (E.A.T
 .) in New York City\, this engineer-artist collaboration has been resurrec
 ted. I have worked with several artists and game-makers over the past few 
 years to enable their concepts via our video analytics. I will discuss Bro
 oklyn Blooms\, Butterflies Alight\, and a Liberty Science Center installat
 ion\, and may even challenge the audience to a game.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. La

 ow our video analytics work attempts to balance edge-cloud issues and lear
 ning methods (unsupervised\, active\, deep) to facilitate effective decisi
 ons and predictions for large-scale public spaces. <br /> <br />Safety and
  efficiency alone do not make great cities. I will also discuss art that m
 akes use of public space cameras. Fifty years after Bell Labs' Experiments
  in Art and Technologies (E.A.T.) in New York City\, this engineer-artist 
 collaboration has been resurrected. I have worked with several artists and
