  • Dataset: An Open Dataset and Collection Tool for BMS Point Labels

    ACM

    Coauthors: Gabe Fierro, David Culler

    Semantic metadata standards for buildings such as Brick and Project Haystack show promise in enabling wide-scale deployment of energy-efficiency measures and advanced building management technologies. However, techniques for converting existing diverse and idiosyncratic forms of building metadata to these standard forms is an area of active research. To encourage and facilitate research into the development and evaluation of such techniques, we are…

    Semantic metadata standards for buildings such as Brick and Project Haystack show promise in enabling wide-scale deployment of energy-efficiency measures and advanced building management technologies. However, techniques for converting existing diverse and idiosyncratic forms of building metadata to these standard forms is an area of active research. To encourage and facilitate research into the development and evaluation of such techniques, we are releasing an open dataset of metadata pulled from real building management systems, containing attributes for 103,064 points over 92 buildings. In addition, we are releasing an open-source tool for scraping and cleaning metadata from building management systems (BMS) for contribution to the dataset.

  • Time Out Before Time is Up: A Classification Model to Determine Timeouts at Crucial Moments In a Game

    NBA

    Among their many tough decisions, coaches often face immense criticism for choosing unnecessary or ineffective timeouts. This is seen in a recent incident from game five of the NBA finals. Raptors head coach Nick Nurse was heavily criticized for disrupting the Raptor's momentum in the fourth quarter by taking an unnecessary timeout and costing them the game. To help decrease the frequency of these miscounts, we present a novel tool to predict whether a coach should take a timeout at a certain…

To help decrease the frequency of these miscounts, we present a novel tool to predict whether a coach should take a timeout at a certain moment in the game. The model utilizes supervised machine learning techniques such as a SVM and neural networks to accurately formulate predictions about whether a timeout should be taken at any point in a game.

    Everyday, more than 65 million Americans and many other people around the world either stand or sit in detrimental positions which have led to a 30% decrease in lung capacity as well as cause gastrointestinal discomfort and body pains. We built a device that monitors and rectifies lack of lung capacity, shortness of breath, vascular disease, degradation of brain functions, and more by seamlessly tracking and physically improving posture. The app consists of a web dashboard, Android app, and a…

  • 3rd Place at SCET Collider Cup 2019

    UC Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology

    Motivated by the current lack of synergy between consumers and lenders, we devised a product, Calypso, that increases consumer sovereignty, empowering those who currently have debt or are in need of debt, ultimately disrupting the debt industry. We were blessed to receive an opportunity to present our idea at the UC Berkeley Sutardja Center's annual Collider Cup, placing 3rd out of nearly 150+ teams involved in SCET programs across the Berkeley campus.

    AoCMM is a non-profit organization that, in short, strives to educate determined individuals on the importance and applicability of mathematical and computational modeling. Its intentions first lie with the fact that the world is full of complicated and often devastating issues. Whether these include the volatile spread of disease or locating the whereabouts of criminals, mathematical and computational modeling has its place in soundly solving real problems. AOCMM strives for more knowledge to better the world and therefore, has created a competition both equally challenging and rewarding for those who are interested to test and expand their research experience with math modeling.
