Estoy de viaje, nuevamente. Esta vez para visitar una presa a tres horas de Nashville, Tennessee, y aprender más sobre el sistema de monitoreo que están utilizando allí.
Acabo de llegar al hotel. Después de un autobus, dos aviones y un viaje en carro alquilado hacia dos hoteles (el primero estaba lleno), encontré una habitación congelada, con música country en el fondo. Al parecer aquí la gente prefiere dormir con mucho frío y música bailable.
Parece que será un viaje interesante.
2012 NILM Workshop at CMU
Last Monday, May 7th, the 1st International Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring Workshop took place on campus. Zico Kolter and I
had been organizing this event for the past few months, in an attempt to bring together the community of researchers and industry practitioners who are working on electricity disaggregation. By all measures, the resulting event exceeded our expectations. We had a great turnout (60 participants) and a very interesting lineup of speakers and talks.
The paragraphs below are a summary of what happened during the event, so if you attended or are simply interested in getting access to the slides and papers here are some useful links:
- Most of the extended abstracts have been posted online, along with posters and slide decks for the presentations.
- We have also published a few photos of the event here.

Algunas cosas que encontré la semana pasada:
You may have found yourself in a similar situation: while reviewing a manuscript handed to you in PDF format, you annotate it using Adobe Acrobat Pro and later realize that all of your comments and markups have your name in the Author field. Now you cannot submit the PDF without revealing your identity.
It turns out that the solution to this is quite simple. I was almost about to write a script to automate the process of changing the name of each comment/markup, until I stumbled into a comment by JWFetz here. Basically, all you have to do is:
- Show the comment list (Comments -> Show Comment List)
- Select all comments (Click on one, and then press CTRL (command) + A)
- Right click on one of the comments, and click on Properties
- Go to the General tab, and change the Author field to whatever you like.
Hopefully this comes in handy for some of you.
Here are the most interesting things I found on the web this week:
As a bonus, here is a video of a real-life Robinson Crusoe [via @kottke]:
