Matt Kretchmar
On Thursday, November 14 there will be a talk by Dr. Matt Kretchmar of Denison University entitled Automated Identification of Text Message Authors: Was that really you who sent that text message?
Reception with light refreshments at 4:00pm in King 225, talk to follow at 4:30pm in King 239
Abstract: This talk is about the application of machine learning techniques to the problem of classifying authors of text messages. We use kernel-based support vector machines to build an automated classifier that uses statistical idiosyncrasies to distinguish one sender from others.
The talk is aimed at general undergraduate students in both mathematics and computer science.
