Lifeloggers record their days using cameras, computers, and smart phones to capture video, audio, and other sensory data. But there's one problem. How do you index and access this massive amount of data? Thanks to Senaka Buthpitiya (E'11), there's now a system that recognizes, indexes, and retrieves information. He was one of only six PhD students in the United States who received a travel grant from the National Science Foundation to attend the one of the field's preeminent conferences held last fall in China. He presented his paper: "A Language-Based Approach to Indexing Heterogeneous Multimedia Lifelog."
