Last week, Professor Dr. Juergen Gall led a talk about the aspects of video understanding. He began speaking about holistic video understanding, where a video can be categorized by the activity as well as other tags that can describe scenes or attributes of video. He goes on to describe a multi-stage temporal convolutional network, which […]
AIR Seminar Series Talk 1: “D-RISE” Deep neural networks are being used increasingly to automate data analysis and decision making, yet their decision-making process is largely unclear and is difficult to explain to the end-users. Vitali Petsiuk, Ph.D Student, Computer Science, Boston University Talk 2: “Tracking with NL-RPN” A novel natural language region proposal network (NL-RPN) […]
