Computational Ecology and Environmental Science

|| Real Ecologists || The Science || The Software || News Predictive Models of Ecological Systems The Computational Ecology and Environmental Science Group (CEES) develop, for ecological systems, the kind of useful predictive models we take for granted in other areas, such as physical engineering. Think, predicting the response of global food production to climate cahnge, or predicting the impacts of deforestation on carbon and biodiversity.

Why Microsoft? Individuals, governments and businesses are showing an unprecedented level of concern over environmental issues, and for good reason – humanity is facing some incredibly serious global environmental challenges, including climate change, food security, and the possibility of pandemics.

This website showcases our work in the vision+language domain. YouCook data set: 88 challenging videos of various cooking (third-person viewpoint, different backgrounds, dynamic camera and person movement) with natural language annotations (about 8 per video) and object and action annotations. Includes a benchmark ROUGE scoring evaluation. The data set was published with our CVPR 2013 paper.

GradDecision - Helping you get into your dream school. Shriram Krishnamurthi: Advice to Graduate School Recommendation Letter Writers. First version: 2008-03-25. Revised: 2008-03-26 (thanks, Kathi Fisler). Revised: 2010-10-21, 2010-11-20, 2012-05-04. Some years ago I was talking to a visiting scholar who was a faculty member in a foreign country. I asked her why letters from her country seemed to be so uninformative. She pointed out that there, faculty never letters: they only write them. The facts were hardly surprising—after all, this is the system I grew up with in India—but after hearing the way she put it, the proverbial bulb lit up. Disclaimer: This is an extremely personal opinion. What this document is about: Writing effective recommendation letters for PhD students applying to computer science PhD programs in the US.

General Outline of the Recommendation Letter Recommendation letters are letters written by professors who know you, assessing you capacity to meet the requirements of a program you are applying for.

General Outline of the Recommendation Letter

They're supposed to help decision-makers to get a better picture of your potential. Due to different reasons, if you are a student in Eastern Europe (including Russia) you will often find yourself in the position to write these letters yourself. The professor will, in this case, only proof-read and sign the text. First Paragraph Next 2-4 Paragraphs Final Paragraph Some Remarks Sample Outline of the Recommendation Letter First Paragraph Recommendation letter usually starts by stating the name of the professor who writes the letter and his/her title, together with the name of the student for whom the letter is written.
