  1. In this paper, we explore the potential of utilizing time-stamps as labels for Deep Learning from webcams, surveillance cameras, and other fixed viewpoint image situations. Specifically, we explore if learning to classify images by the time they were taken uncovers interesting patterns and behaviors in the scenes captured by these cameras. We describe approaches to building datasets with large quantities of images and their accompanying labels, making them suitable for large-scale deep learning approaches. We share our results from the initial deep learning experiments.

  2. Abstract

    We present an equilibrium model of dynamic trading, learning, and pricing by strategic investors with trading targets and price impact. Since trading targets are private, investors filter the child order flow dynamically over time to estimate the latent underlying parent trading demand imbalance and to forecast its impact on subsequent price-pressure dynamics. We prove existence of an equilibrium and solve for equilibrium trading strategies and prices as the solution to a system of coupled ODEs. Trading strategies are combinations of trading towards investor targets, liquidity provision for other investors’ demands, and speculation based on learning about latent underlying trading-demand imbalances.

  3. Students’ sound knowledge about osmosis can lead to their understanding of other related biological processes that require the movement of materials across cell membranes, such as photosynthesis, homeostasis, and cellular respiration. However, students have difficulties to understand osmosis. This challenge has been attributed to the abstract nature of the concept and the way it is presented to students. Thus, we present an engineering design, integrated biology unit in which students use the engineering design process to learn about osmosis and its related concepts. A dependent t-test revealed statistically significant differences in students’ understanding of osmosis and related concepts, and the engineering design process before and after the unit. Overall, in this unit students developed the understanding of osmosis in a real-world context through an engineering design process.
