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 will be given on topics related to recognition of humans, objects, actions and dynamic scene understanding in video.
Program
The program will span five days with 30-35 teaching hours in total split into a number of lectures and three practical sessions.
Poster presentations
There will be a poster session, where participants will be encouraged to 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.
