Discovering and Leveraging Visual Structure for Large-scale Recognition
Event Location: GHC 4405Abstract: Visual Recognition has seen tremendous advances in the last decade. This progress is primarily due to learning algorithms trained with two key ingredients: large amounts of data and extensive supervision. While acquiring visual data is cheap, getting it labeled is far more expensive. So how do we enable learning algorithms to [...]
