Information Session: Global Technology & Communication Management and User-Centered Design
The Department of Human Centered Design & Engineering is hosting an information session for two graduate certificate programs: Global Technology & Communication Management (GTCM) and User-Centered Design (UCD).
What: Graduate Certificate Information Session
When: Wednesday, May 18th at 6PM – 7PM
Where: Sieg Hall, room 420
Global Technology & Communication Management:
GTCM is designed for professionals interested in technology design and localization. This graduate certificate is a series of three courses that focus on international user-experience, the management of the localization process, and international product management. Graduates of the program will be able to manage a localization team and determine best strategies for managing effective global technology and communication projects.
User-Centered Design:
UCD is a four course, graduate certificate that explores a wide range of issues related to usability testing, and the user-centered design process. Students learn about sophisticated planning and development methods to ensure intuitive, user-friendly product development. Study the latest theories and explore tools and techniques to keep user needs, desires and potential obstacles at the forefront of each stage of the design process.
All coursework in these programs are all credit-bearing, graduate coursework and can be applied towards our MS in HCDE. Students in both programs interact with faculty, industry professionals, students in our graduate programs, and have access to all departmental career resources.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate contacting me at gbruno@uw.edu.

UW MICROSOFT SYMPOSIUM: Linguistics
Friday, May 13, 2011
3:30 - 5:00 p.m.
Paccar Hall 291
Mona Diab
CCLS, Columbia University
AUTOMATIC PROCESSING OF ARABIC(S)
Spoken by over 300m people, Arabic is considered one of the languages of significant importance for NLP -- in particular for Machine Translation and Multilingual processing.
In this talk, I will explore the depths and breadth of the challenges that Arabic poses to NLP, due to dearth of resources, high variability, lack of writing standards for dialects, and lack of sufficient understanding of the dialectal phenomena.
Mona Diab is a Research Scientist at the Center for Computational Learning Systems (CCLS) and an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Columbia University.

PREDICTING VERBAL FEEDBACK ACROSS CULTURES IN FACE-TO-FACE CONVERSATION
Fluent conversation involves complex, multi-modal coordination among participants, although most conversants accomplish it with little effort. In cross-cultural settings, this coordination can prove more difficult to achieve. In this talk, I focus on automatic prediction of verbal feedback, one component of this process, across three language/cultural groups: American English, Mexican Spanish, and Iraqi Arabic. I identify key challenges due to language-specific differences, inter-speaker variation, and the relative sparseness and optionality of verbal feedback. Our approach addresses these challenges through a machine learning regime and exploits prosodic features, including pitch, intensity, and duration, to dramatically improve prediction of verbal feedback. Feature analysis identifies both similarities and contrasts across languages.
Reception will follow in the same location
