[Colloquium] REMINDER: 2/7 Talks at TTIC: Genevieve Patterson, Microsoft Research

[Mary Marre via Colloquium]

 When:     Wednesday, February 7th at *10:30am*

Where:    TTIC, 6045 S Kenwood Avenue, 5th Floor, Room 526

Who:       Genevieve Patterson, Microsoft Research

Title: Uncommon Sense: Using Neural Networks for Exploration and Creativity


Abstract: In this talk, I investigate new ways for humans and AI systems to
collaborate. I am interested in problems where pure automation is not the
goal. For example, deep networks can automatically detect the presence of
cancer in a mammogram but can’t tell us what avenues we should pursue in
cancer research. I will discuss several recent projects where AI supports
users' work and creativity. My first project will demo a system for ML
supported rotoscoping, an expensive post-processing technique commonly used
in filmmaking. My second project explores collaboration between DNNs and
radiologists to generate explanations of neural network diagnoses. I'll
conclude with a quick introduction to my current work using deep learning
to help people write better jokes. Through these projects, I hope to
demonstrate novel interactions between AI and humans.


Bio: Genevieve Patterson studies interactive Computer Vision systems. Her
interests include visual attribute discovery, crowd-powered dataset
annotation, fine-grained object recognition, and active learning. Her work
has appeared at CVPR and HCOMP, where her paper introducing a system for
crowdsourced one-shot object detection was finalist for Best Paper in 2015.
She received her PhD from Brown University in 2016 under the direction
James Hays (now of Georgia Tech).
