Dear all,
Please join us for the Applied Statistics Workshop (Gov 3009) this
Wednesday, November 2 from 12.00 - 1.30 pm in CGIS Knafel Room 354. Amber
Brown, Senior Research Scientist at Disney Research, and Joe Marks, Vice
President and Fellow of Disney Research, will give a talk entitled
"Empirical Social Science at Disney Research". As always, a light lunch
will be provided.
The abstract for the presentation is:
*At Disney Research we mostly work on technologies that are relevant to our
various businesses: computer graphics, computer vision, robotics,
human-computer interaction, materials, displays, etc. But we also have
projects in the social sciences, with a heavy emphasis on rigorous
empirical testing. We will describe four recent projects:*
- *Novel pay-what-you-want pricing mechanisms.*
- *Load balancing of park guests via pushed incentives on mobile devices.
*
- *Guest participation in environmental programs.*
- *Introduction of a cinema culture to the developing world.*
