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
Galen Pickard,Wei Pan,Iyad Rahwan,Iyad Rahwan,Manuel Cebrian,Riley Crane,Anmol Madan,Alex Pentland +7 more
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
Wei Pan,Gourab Ghoshal,Gourab Ghoshal,Coco Krumme,Manuel Cebrian,Manuel Cebrian,Manuel Cebrian,Alex Pentland +7 more
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
Wei Pan,Kaihuai Qin,Yao Chen +2 more
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.
