DESCRIPTION:Marilyn Wolf\, Georgia Institute of Technology\nBio: Marilyn W
 olf is Farmer Distinguished Chair and Georgia Research Alliance Eminient S
 cholar at the Georgia Institute of Technology.  She received her BS\, MS\
 , and PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1980\, 198
 1\, and 1984\, respectively.  She was with AT&T Bell Laboratories from 19
 84 to 1989.  She was on the faculty of Princeton University from 1989 to 
 2007.  Her research interests included embedded computing\, embedded vide
 o and computer vision\, and VLSI systems. She has received the ASEE Terman
  Award and IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Education Award. She is a Fel
 low of the IEEE and ACM and an IEEE Computer Society Golden Core member.\n
 This talk describes our efforts to build cyber-physical systems to help ca
 re for people with special needs. The term “special needs” covers a wi
 de range of cognitive and physical limitations. With a growing worldwide p
 opulation of people with special needs\, we need to find new ways to give 
 these people meaningful lives.  Because the special needs population cove
 rs such a wide range of conditions\, the traditional\, diagnosis-driven me
 dical approach will not scale.\nWe have developed activity analysis algori
 thms that can generate useful activity summaries from sparse sensor data i
 n complex environments. With Mihaela van der Schaar of UCLA\, we are build
 ing an analytics system that uses the results of activity analysis to gene
 rate recommendations for care based on machine learning. With Cathy Bodine
  of the University of Colorado\, we are applying these algorithms to job t
 raining for people with cognitive disabilities. We are developing a cyber-
 physical architecture that we will permanently install in a smart home for
  people with special needs operated by a Medicaid service provider.
