SoundSense: scalable sound sensing for people-centric applications on mobile phones

TL;DR: This paper proposes SoundSense, a scalable framework for modeling sound events on mobile phones that represents the first general purpose sound sensing system specifically designed to work on resource limited phones and demonstrates that SoundSense is capable of recognizing meaningful sound events that occur in users' everyday lives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social fMRI: Investigating and shaping social mechanisms in the real world

TL;DR: A ubiquitous computing approach that combines extremely rich data collection with the ability to conduct targeted experimental interventions with study populations is employed, demonstrating the value of social factors for choice, motivation, and adherence and quantifying the contribution of different incentive mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time-Critical Social Mobilization

TL;DR: This work analyzed the theoretical and practical properties of a recursive incentive mechanism that both spread information about the task and incentivized individuals to act, and compared it with other approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urban characteristics attributable to density-driven tie formation

TL;DR: Here it is demonstrated that the model provides a robust and accurate fit for the dependency of city characteristics with city-size, ranging from individual-level dyadic interactions to population level variables without the need to appeal to heterogeneity, modularity, specialization or hierarchy.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Adaptable-Multilayer Fractional Fourier Transform Approach for Image Registration

TL;DR: A novel adaptable accurate way for calculating polar FFT and log-polar FFT is developed in this paper, named multilayer fractional Fourier transform (MLFFT), which provides a mechanism to increase the accuracy by increasing the user-defined computing level.
