Man Arrested For Conning Investors About

Man Arrested For Conning Investors About
Face-Recognition System 04/13/2004 05:11 PM
alex writes in with a link to a story about a con man who was arrested for lying to investors about a face recognition system he claimed to be developing to help identify terrorists. Trouble was, he wasn't actually working on any such thing - he was working on scamming investors. The article linked above doesn't give many details, but other articles on the arrest point out that he conned 32 people out of half a million dollars (while another half a million dollars was raised for another fraudulent company the same guy was running under a different name). Once again, it makes you wonder what kind of due diligence these investors do. Apparently, with the face recognition company, investors were told that they had patents pending, that they employed high ranking former Netscape executives, and that they were close to doing an IPO. All of these should have been fairly easy to confirm or disprove.

Shazam is offering an interesting paid service to cell phone users in the UK that will recognize songs over the phone, and then send a text message with the track details back to them. Users can then optionally review and buy the tracks later from their Web site.

"Now you can know the name of any track, anywhere in the UK. Just hit 2580 on your mobile phone, aim it at any loud music for 30 seconds and we'll txt you back the name of the track and artist."

Amazing.

Provisioning gets its recognition

Provisioning gets its recognition 01/16/2004 11:02 AM
In the last issue, when I mentioned that provisioning is now only a small part of the entire identity management spectrum and needs to be integrated with the rest and be part of vendor offerings, it was not with any specific event in mind. I'd written those words before Christmas, so I wasn't influenced by the Dec. 30 announcement that Netegrity was acquiring Business Layers, arguably the last of the "pure play" provisioning companies. The acquisition follows Sun's purchase of Waveset and the previous acquisition of Access360 by IBM's Tivoli division.

Biometric Mod Cabinet 08/10/2004 04:18 PM

The Mod Cabinet from glide is a smallish cabinet with a built-in biometric fingerprint sensor that allows you to lock down access to only those pre-approved. Even better (or worse, from a security standpoint) there is a Bluetooth wireless link for configuring the Mod Cabinet from across the room using the customer PC or Pocket PC software. You can also purchase the cabinet without locks or biometric sensor, but what's the fun in that?

The Science of Word Recognition

The Science of Word Recognition 08/20/2004 05:55 PM
Evidence from the last 20 years of work in cognitive psychology indicates that we use the letters within a word to recognize a word. Many typographers and other text enthusiasts Iā€™ve met insist that words are recognized by the outline made around the word shape. Some have used the term bouma as a synonym for word shape, though I was unfamiliar with the term. The term bouma appears in Paul Saengerā€™s 1997 book Space Between Words: The Origins of Silent Reading. There I learned to my chagrin that we recognize words from their word shape and that ā€œModern psychologists call this image the ā€˜Bouma shape.ā€™ā€

Uh, um and nationality and speech
recognition 01/10/2004 09:38 AM
"Signposting" -- involuntarily uttering little interstitial syllables between words, like "um" and "uh" -- varies widely from country to country, and makes life difficult for speech-recognition software.

The French say something that sounds like euh, and Hebrew speakers say ehhh. Serbs and Croats say ovay, and the Turks say mmmmm. The Japanese say eto (eh-to) and ano (ah-no), the Spanish este, and Mandarin speakers neige (NEH-guh) and jiege (JEH-guh). In Dutch and German you can say uh, um, mmm. In Swedish it's eh, ah, aah, m, mm, hmm, ooh, a and oh; in Norwegian, e, eh, m and hm.

These interruptions, it turns out, plague machines more than people -- speech-recognition systems in particular -- so researchers have increasingly been turning their attention to uh and um (among other so-called disfluencies).

HP Ships Biometric Laptop 06/24/2005 08:27 PM
Biometric technology is taking another leap toward widespread usage as Hewlett-Packard Co. ships new laptops with fingerprint readers.

The nx6125 notebook PC includes a fingerprint sensor made by AuthenTec Inc., which says HP is the biggest computer maker to offer a biometric reader as standard equipment. The computer, aimed at the business market, sells for $1,000 and up.

Fingerprint biometrics are a more secure and convenient alternative to passwords, which are often forgotten or stolen. But only in recent years has the technology's accuracy improved to the point where it could confidently be deployed in a wide range of consumer applications.
