PhD Seminar • Computer Graphics: Stereoscopic 3D Line Drawing and Shading

Lesley Istead, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

In this talk, we present a method for producing stylized stereoscopic 3D (S3D) line drawings or sketches from S3D photos.

Our method renders contours and silhouettes found in the disparity map and addresses some of the issues that arise when working with 8-bit disparity. Finally, we add shading to our stylized S3D line drawings to improve the perception of depth and surface shape.

PhD Seminar • Human-Computer Interaction: Incremental Difficulty in Platformer Games

Rina Wehbe, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Designing difficulty levels in platformer games is a challenge for game designers. It is important because design decisions that affect difficulty also directly affect player experience. Consequently, design strategies for balancing game difficulty are discussed by both academics and game designers.

Seminar • Data Systems (Information Retrieval) — Text Representation, Retrieval, and Understanding with Knowledge Graphs

Chenyan Xiong, PhD candidate
Carnegie Mellon University

Search engines and other information systems have started to evolve from retrieving documents to providing more intelligent information access. However, the evolution is still in its infancy due to computers’ limited ability in representing and understanding human language.
