Generating Representations for Action Recognition From Coarsely Labeled and Synthetic Data
Event Location: NSH 1507Abstract: Action recognition techniques rely heavily on well chosen features, such as trajectory-based motion descriptors, to make the most of relatively scarce video training data. Typically these features must be hand-selected because the very paucity of suitably annotated data that makes the selection of features critical also restricts the degree to which [...]
A Graph-Matching Kernel for Object Categorization
Event Location: NSH 1507Bio: Olivier Duchenne received the M.S. degree in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics in École Normale Supérieure (ENS), in Paris in 2008. He then joined as a phD candidate the research team, WILLOW in the same university under the supervision of professor Jean Ponce. He received the best student paper, honorable mention, [...]
