[Theory] REMINDER: 2/20 Talks at TTIC: Fisher Yu, UC Berkeley

[Mary Marre via Theory]

When:     Wednesday, February 20th at *11:00 am*

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

Who:       Fisher Yu, UC Berkeley*T**itle:       *Towards Human-Level
Recognition via Contextual, Dynamic, and Predictive Representations
*Abstract:*
Existing state-of-the-art computer vision models usually specialize in
single domains or tasks. This specialization isolates different vision
tasks and hinders deployment of robust and effective vision systems.  In
this talk, I will discuss unified image representations suitable for
different scales and tasks through the lens of pixel-level prediction.
These connections, built by the study of dilated convolutions and deep
layer aggregation, can interpret convolutional network behaviors and lead
to model frameworks applicable to a wide range of tasks. Beyond scales and
tasks, I will argue that a unified representation should also be dynamic
and predictive. I will illustrate the case with input-dependent dynamic
networks, which lead to new insights into the relationship of
zero-shot/few-shot learning and network pruning, and with semantic
predictive control, which utilizes prediction for better driving policy
learning. To conclude, I will discuss on-going system and algorithm
investigations which couple representation learning and real-world
interaction to build intelligent agents that can continuously learn from
and interact with the world.
