Abstract: Evolutionary relations between species can be modeled as a phylogenetic tree --- a tree where the leaves represent the extant species, the internal vertices represent their ancestors, and the edges represent the genetic relations between them. We
study the problem of reconstructing such a tree for a set of taxa. The first part of the talk is about the description of this problem in the declarative knowledge representation formalism of answer set programming, and how to use computational methods of answer set programming to generate conjectures about the evolution of the given taxa. In the second part of the talk we apply this computational method in two domains: to historical analysis of languages, and to historical analysis of parasite-host systems. In particular, we discuss the computation of some plausible phylogenies for Chinese dialects, for Indo-European language groups, and for Alcataenia species.

This talk presents a novel system for the automatic and unobtrusive tracking and identification of multiple persons in an indoor environment. Information from several fixed cameras is fused in a particle filter framework to simultaneously track multiple occupants. A set of steerable fuzzy controlled pan-tilt-zoom cameras serves to smoothly track persons of interest and opportunistically capture facial closeups for face identification. In parallel, speech segmentation, sound source localization and speaker identification are performed using several far-field microphones and arrays. The information coming asynchronously and sporadically from several sources, such as track updates and spatio-temporally localized visual and acoustic identification cues, is fused at higher level to gradually refine the global scene model and increase the system confidence in the set of recognized identities. The system has been trained on a small set of users' faces and/or voices and showed good performance in natural meeting scenarios at quickly acquiring their identities and complementing the ID information missing in single modalities.
