Center Members Receive Marr Prize at ICCV
 A paper entitled "Discriminative models for multi-class object layout" by Chaitanya Desai, Deva Ramanan and Charless Fowlkes received the Marr Prize at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) held in Kyoto, Japan. The prize is named after David Marr, a theoretical neuroscientist who made profound contributions to the theory of both human and machine vision in the 1970's. The prize is awarded to the best paper at ICCV and is considered one of the top honors in computer vision. The authors plan to spend the prize money on a couch for the UCI Computational Vision lab.
Distinguished Speaker Series for 09-10 Announced

UCI Machine Learning Repository Hosts Netflix Prize Data
 The Netflix Prize contest came to an end in September, with team 'Bellkor's Pragmatic Chaos' winning the $1 million prize after improving Netflix's movie-recommendation system by 10%. The panel of contest judges consisted of two Netflix engineers and two computer science professors, including CML Director Padhraic Smyth. The Netflix Prize data set and the winning submission are now hosted at the UCI Machine Learning Repository.
Center Member Awarded NSF Grant to Store and Analyze Semi-Structured Data
 Michael Carey and Center member Chen Li, professors of Computer Science at the University of California Irvine, have been awarded a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s Data-Intensive Computing Program. The project entitled 'ASTERIX: A Highly Scalable Parallel Platform for Semistructured Data Management and Analysis' will research and develop new technologies for storing and analyzing semi-structured data.
Center Director Receives 2009 ACM SIGKDD Innovation Award
 Padhraic Smyth, Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Center for Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems, has been awarded the 2009 Innovation Award from the Association of Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (SIGKDD). Smyth is recognized for his contributions to both the theory and application of probabilistic and statistical approaches to data mining. For more details, see the award citation.
