  8. Microsoft Lab • Set up in end-2001 with a grant from Microsoft • Goals • Create Windows infrastructure in the department • Promote the use of Microsoft technologies in student projects and faculty research • Initiate collaborative research with MS • Over 50 projects so far Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  9. Communication Empowerment Lab • Focus on developing technologies for • Augmentative and assistive communication (AAC) devices for people with disabilities • User-adaptive communication and information technologies for the common man • Focus on vernacular and multilingual communication, social realities and culture • Funded by Media Lab Asia and other government agencies Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  10. Telemedicine Systems • Telemedik – telemedicine system over low-bandwidth links • Aim – provide medical expertise from city hospitals to remote hospitals with inadequate expertise and infrastructure • Fully operational system with all advanced features of a telemedicine system, developed in Telemedicine Lab • Installed at 6 hospitals, being installed at 12 others in eastern and north-eastern India Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  11. Mobile Telemedicine • Telemedicine application on PDAs/Cellphones for doctors on the move • Integration of text and image transmission over wireless links • Display and processing of medical images on PDA – challenges posed by small display area, limited computational power and memory, power constraints Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  13. Intrusion Resilient Database • Aim • to create a database capable of restoring its consistency even after being compromised • Based on compensating actions and re-executions as in other schemes • New transaction dependencies proposed and evaluated that improves on existing schemes • Prototype system built around SQL Server 2000 • Part of a multi-year project funded by Govt. of India on building resilient systems Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  14. Sanyog (“Connection”) • An alternative communication aid for people with speech impairment and neuro-motor disorders • Visual, iconic language based, speech enabled • Can be personalized to the cognitive ability of the user • Alternative access mechanisms with scanning and access switches Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  19. Access Mechanism Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  20. Supports 3 languages – Bengali, Hindi, and English • The system has been deployed at four centers in India • Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy, Kolkata • Action for Ability Development and Inclusion, New Delhi • Monovikas Kendra, Kolkata • Blind Peoples Association, Ahmedabad • Winner of Da Vinci Award – Engineering Society of Detroit & Multiple Sclerosis Society, Michigan chapter Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  21. Samvidha • Providing low cost internet access from rural schools • Rural schools have only noisy phone lines • Most cannot afford the cost of long connections • Offline access • Student queries packed by local server in school and sent in email to central server • Central server browses web to get results, packages pages and sends to local server. Can be accessed anytime after that Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  23. Features • Ontology based filtering of web contents • Only relevant documents shown • User modeling for personalized retrieval • User profiles learnt from browsing patterns, and/or from user inputs • Ontology guided navigation and search from the locally built repository of contents • Reduces access time if locally available • Vernacular based search interface • Pilot deployment at 4 schools so far Microsoft Research Faculty Summit

  24. Online Transcoding of Web Pages for PDAs • Small display area is a problem • Proxy-based re-authoring of web pages • Presents only “relevant” information categorized under predefined domain specific categories • Unique visual-cue and page structure based algorithm to fragment a page into related blocks • Categorization using rule-based system Microsoft Research Faculty Summit
