Accelerated Discovery: A Big Data Perspective
Venu Govindaraju
University Buffa/o, USA
2015 IAPR/ICDAR Outstanding Achievements Award Winner
Abstract. Today, the advances in computing, storage, and machine learning algorithms make it possible for
the entire scientific literature of any given field to be examined in its totality, so that papers across topics,
years, authors, disciplines, and institutions can reveal linkages that have been thus far unapparent and which
could lead to transformational discoveries. We present a vision for the ICDAR community to address this
grand challenge by proposing a framework that would scale across disciplines and accelerate the entire
process of scientific endeavor and discovery. Two major hurdles need to be overcome. First is the issue of the
sheer volume of scientific literature in existence to date, which is conservatively pegged at nearly 100 million
articles. The literature itself comes in a wide variety of formats, is of varying quality (necessitating assessment
of the veracity of data and results), and continues to grow at a staggering rate (velocity). So, ironically, the
body of scientific articles that typically present the analysis of data, themselves qualify as "Big Data". The
second hurdle is the quality of scientific search currently supported by search engines, which merely make
access more efficient but falls short at facilitating easier and comprehensive understanding of the topic of the
search. We present a roadmap to address the myriad of research challenges to bridge this gap that is crucial to
the process of scientific discovery.
Biography. Dr. Venu Govindaraju, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, is
the founding director of the Center for Unified Biometrics and Sensors. He received his Bachelor's degree
with honors from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in 1986, and his Ph.D. from UB in 1992. He has co
authored about 400 refereed scientific papers. and has supervised the dissertations of 30 doctoral students. He
has served on the editorial boards of premier journals such as the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and
Machine Intelligence and is currently the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Biometrics Council Compendium.

The Role of Document Analysis in the Paperless Office: One perspective
David Doermann
Program Manager, Information Innovation Office (f20)
DARPA, USA
Abstract. For decades we have been hearing of the demise of document understanding as a result of the
"paperless office", yet automation has actually created more paper than we had a dozen years ago. One
question that we need to ask is "are we using paper the same way as we did before?" The fact is that the role
of paper is shifting, and the type of document analysis tasks that are most relevant moving forward are shifting
as well.
In recent years we have seen continued work on "conversion" to electronic representations, but we have also
seen traditional document analytics applied to electronic representations themselves. For example, work has
been published on indexing and retrieval of electronic sources from hard copy images as well as on the
analysis of PDF and HTML layout structure. These problems are only a small part of a much larger need to
extract information from material designed and organized for human, rather than machine, consumption.
This talk will highlight some of the current and evolving document analysis technologies that are required
even in the offices of the future. These types of technologies won't be rendered useless until we
fundamentally change the definition of a "document", which is not likely to occur nearly as quickly as some
have predicted.
Biography. David Doermann is a member of the research faculty at the University of Maryland College Park.
He received a B.Sc. degree in computer science and mathematics from Bloomsburg University in 1987, and a
M.Sc. degree in 1989 in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. He
continued his studies in the Computer Vision Laboratory, where he earned a Ph.D. in 1993. Since then, he has
served as co-director of the Laboratory for Language and Media Processing in the University of Maryland's
Institute for Advanced Computer Studies and as an adjunct member of the graduate faculty.
His team of researchers focuses on topics related to document image analysis and multimedia information
processing. Their recent intelligent document image analysis projects include page decomposition, structural
analysis and classification, page segmentation, logo recognition, document image compression, duplicate
document image detection, image-based retrieval, character recognition, generation of synthetic OCR data,
and signature verification. In video processing, projects have centered on the segmentation of compressed
domain video sequences, structural representation and classification of video, detection of reformatted video
sequences, and the performance evaluation of automated video analysis algorithms.
In 2002, Dr. Doermann received an Honorary Doctorate of Technology Sciences from the University of Oulu
for his contributions to digital media processing and document analysis research. He is a founding co-editor of
the International Journal on Document Analysis and Recognition, has the general chair or co-chair of over a
half dozen international conferences and workshops, and is the general chair of the International Conference
on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR) to be held in Washington DC in 20 13. He has over 30
journal publications and over 160 refereed conference papers.
Dr. Doermann is currently on assignment with DARPA, the innovative funding arm of US government where
he runs programs on translation, speech processing, visual media reasoning and media forensics.

Entity-Centric Data Management
Philippe Cudre-Mauroux
University oj Fribourg, Switzerland
Abstract. Until recently, structured (e.g., relational) and unstructured (e.g., textual) data were managed very differently:
Structured data was queried declaratively using languages such as SQL, while unstructured data was searched using
boolean queries over inverted indices. Today, we witness the rapid emergence of entity-centric techniques to bridge the
gap between different types of content and manage both unstructured and structured data more effectively. 1 will start this
talk by giving a few examples of entity-centric data management. I will then describe two recent systems that were built
in my lab and revolve around entity-centric data management techniques: Zen Crowd, a socio-technical platform that
automatically connects HTML documents to semi-structured entities, and TripleProv, a scalable, efficient, and
provenance-enabled back-end to manage graphs of entities.
Biography. Philippe Cudre-Mauroux is a Swiss-NSF Professor and the director of the eXascale lnfolab at the University
of Fribourg in Switzerland. Previously, he was a postdoctoral associate working in the Database Systems group at MIT.
He received his Ph.D. from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology EPFL, where he won both the Doctorate Award
and the EPFL Press Mention in 2007. Before joining the University of Fribourg, he worked on distributed information
and media management for HP, IBM Watson Research (NY), and Microsoft Research Asia. He was Program Chair of
the International Semantic Web Conference in 2012 and General Chair of the International Symposium on Data-Driven
Process Discovery and Analysis in 2012 and 2013. He recently won the Verisign Internet Infrastructures Award, a Swiss
National Center in Research award, as well as a Google Facutly Research Award. His research interests are in next
generation, Big Data management infrastructures for non-relational data. Webpage: http://exascale.info/phil

Document Analysis Meets Activity Recognition: A New
Paradigm of Analyzing Documents in Combination With
Users' Reading Behavior
Koichi Kise
Osaka Prefecture University, Japan
Abstract. As a new paradigm of research in the field of document analysis, T propose a notion of mutual analysis of
documents and activities. Documents have been the single entity to be analyzed in the field. However their values cannot
be fully estimated by just looking at their contents. People obtain information from documents by the activities of
reading. The key to analyze documents for their values is in this point. The analysis of human reading activities gives us
a way to obtain additional information on the contents of documents such as interesting and difficult. On the other hand,
by augmenting the reading activities by the contents, we are able to know more about actors of these activities such as
personal preferences.
In my talk I show some work on this topic including estimating the number of words read (wordometer), the type of
documents and the level of understanding, as well as document annotations by reading behavior. I would also like to
show some important open problems to be shared with the audience for discussion.
Biography. Koichi Kise received his B.E., M.E. and Ph.D. degrees in communication engmeermg from Osaka
University, Osaka, Japan in 1986,1988 and 1991, respectively.
From 2000 to 2001, he was a visiting professor at German Research Center for Artificial lntelligence (DFKI), Germany.
He is now a Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Intelligent Systems, Osaka Prefecture University,
Japan.
He received awards including the best paper award of lEICE in 2008, the IAPRlICDAR best paper awards in 2007 and
2013, the TAPR Nakano award in 2010, the TCFHR best paper award in 2010 and the ACPR best paper award in 2011.
He is now working as the chair of the TAPR technical committee 11 (reading systems) and a member of the TAPR
conferences and meetings committee. His major research activities are in analysis, recognition and retrieval of
documents, images and activities.
