题目：Probabilistic Graphical Models and Their Applications in Computer Vision
摘要：
Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) have been increasingly applied to solve many computer vision problems, thanks mainly to their powerful capability in representing various types of visual knowledge as well as to the availability of principled statistical theories and algorithms for inference and learning. Under probabilistic models, data are modeled as a collection of random variables with a particular pattern of possible dependencies among them. Using the model, we can then discover knowledge, predict future events, and infer hidden causes. In this lecture, I will first introduce different types of PGMs including directed PGMs such as Bayesian Networks, Hidden Markov Models, and Dynamic Bayesian Networks as well as undirected PGMs such as Markov Networks, Conditional Random Fields, and Restricted Boltzmann Machine. I will then discuss various PGM learning and inference methods, including both parameter and structure learning as well as both exact and approximate inference methods. The second part of this lecture will cover the applications of PGMs to computer vision. These applications include image segmentation, facial expression recognition, object tracking, and human action/activity recognition. This lecture will conclude with a discussion of remaining issues and future directions in PGM research and in its application in computer vision.

报告题目：Introduction to Deep Learning and its applications in Computer Vision
摘要：
Deep learning has become a major breakthrough in artificial intelligence and achieved amazing success on solving grand challenges in many fields including computer vision. Its success benefits from big training data and super parallel computational power emerging in recent years, as well as advanced model design and training strategies. In this talk, I will try to introduce deep learning and explain the magic behind it. Through concrete examples of computer vision applications, I will illustrate four key points about deep learning. (1) Different than traditional pattern recognition systems, which heavily rely on manually designed features, deep learning automatically learns hierarchical feature representations from data and disentangles hidden factors of input data through multi-level nonlinear mappings. (2) Different than existing pattern recognition systems which sequentially design or training their key components, deep learning is able to jointly optimize all the components and crate synergy through close interactions among them. (3) While most machine learning tools can be approximated with neural networks with shallow structures, for some tasks, the expressive power of deep models increases exponentially as their architectures go deep. (4) Benefitting the large learning capacity of deep models, we also recast some classical computer vision challenges as high-dimensional data transform problems and solve them from new perspectives. Some open questions related to deep learning will also be discussed in the end.

题目：Structured 2D Methods for Feature Extraction and Classification
摘要：
2DPCA has been a popular method for image feature extraction. In this talk, we first give an overview 2DPCA: its algorithm and properties. We know that2DPCA can be equivalently implemented via image-row based 1D PCA because it uses the F-norm. We then presents a structured 2D PCA method, namely, nuclear norm based 2DPCA (N-2DPCA). N-2DPCA uses a nuclear norm based reconstruction error criterion. The nuclear norm is a matrix norm, which provides a structured 2D characterization for the reconstruction error. Finally, we talk about our new work: nuclear norm based structured 2D regression. The method is used to design a classifier for robust face recognition.

题目： 结构敏感的图像分析和场景建模
摘要：
图像分割和识别、场景建模是计算机视觉中基础的研究问题，其挑战来自问题本质的病态定义、输入噪声和分辨率不足、遮挡和光照等干扰因素导致的二义性。如何发现和利用关于场景布局和物体结构的信息、编码人类感知系统所启发的附加先验知识、挖掘问题数学描述中的结构约束，是解决基于图像的分析和建模的一个重要的研究方向。
对于大多数图像分析任务，成功解决问题的第一步是发现某种尺度下高效的图像描述，我们尝试将结构约束加入到不同尺度的图像特征，加强了这些特征与图像结构和内容的关联，提高了其对类内变化的容忍能力和对类间差异的辨别能力。我们发现结构约束能够提高图像分割、目标检测和视觉识别的精度和效率，相关算法超越了前沿算法的性能。
经典的运动恢复结构(SFM)依靠稀疏关键特征点来计算场景的几何结构和相机参数，我们尝试使用场景结构语法或物体模型先验，通过拆分重拼装的方式，以增强形状的精细几何结构，实现逼真的三维建模。我们发现基于结构分析的方法能够有效提高深度传感器数据的精度和解析度，达到较好的形状增强结果。
