Scope

Some of the notable recent successes in automated visual recognition are results of combining advanced visual representations together with powerful machine learning techniques. The objective of this summer school is to provide an overview of some of the latest advances in visual recognition together with the related machine learning algorithms. A particular emphasis this year will be given to advances in analysis of people, human actions and interactions. 


Program

The final program of the summer school is available here. The program includes 26 hours of lectures, 3 hours of practical sessions, two receptions, one poster session on Tuesday and a banquet on Wednesday evening.


Poster presentations

There will be a poster session, where participants are encouraged to bring and present their recent work. Participants will get feedback on their posters and the possibility to discuss their work with their peers. The best poster will be awarded a prize.
