Research Seminar in Computer Vision + X

Catalog description

With advances in deep learning, computer vision (CV) has been transforming all sorts of domains, including healthcare, human-computer interaction, transportation, art, sustainability, and so much more. In this seminar, we investigate its far-reaching applications, with a different theme chosen as the focus each quarter (e.g. the inaugural quarter was CV + Healthcare; the theme for the quarter will be listed on the class syllabus). Throughout the quarter, we deeply examine these themes in CV + X research through weekly intimate discussions with researchers from academia and industry labs who conduct research at the center of CV and other domains. Each week, students will read and prepare questions and reflections on an assigned paper authored by that week's speaker. We highly encourage students who are interested in taking an interactive, deep dive into CV research literature to apply. While there are no hard requirements, we strongly suggest having the background and fluency necessary to read and analyze AI research papers (thus MATH 51 or linear algebra, and at least one of CS 231x, 224x, 221, 229, 230, 234, 238, AI research experience for CV and AI fundamentals may be helpful).
