Hi Andrew,

I hope you are doing well.  As a reminder, I worked with Ting Liu in the 
summer of 2004 at FX Palo Alto Labs.  I am again in the position of 
seeking a summer intern, and after meeting with Jeremy Kubica who 
interviewed last week here, I was reminded of the how impressive the 
students in your group are. 

I intend to work on a project this summer to automatically annotate 
video data, again in the context of the large scale TRECVID evaluation.  
We are looking for someone mainly to work on statistical modeling and 
classification, probably using conditional random fields, to classify 
video shots as exhibiting (or not) a semantic attribute.  As in Ting's 
case, we are mainly looking for help with the statistical parts of the 
project, the low-level data processing will be complete before the 
summer so experience with video data is not required.  If you can 
recommend any students, or other faculty that we may wish to contact, 
I'd very much appreciate it.

I understand from Ting that you're starting a new collaboration with 
Google.  Congratulations.  Perhaps we can meet some time if you're out 
to the west coast.  Thanks for your help and consideration.

Matt Cooper
