Paper Abstract Widespread and pervasive adoption of smartphones has led to the instant sharing of photographs that capture events ranging from mundane to life-altering happenings. We propose to capture sentiment information of such social event images leveraging their visual content. Our method extracts an intermediate visual representation of social event images based on the visual […]
Paper Abstract We propose to leverage concept-level representations for complex event recognition in photographs given limited training examples. We introduce a novel framework to discover event concept attributes from the web and use that to extract semantic features from images and classify them into social event categories with few training examples. Discovered concepts include a variety of objects, scenes, […]
Machine Learning at Georgia Tech Seminar Series Speaker: Irfan EssaDate/Time: March 1, 2017, 12n Abstract The Interdisciplinary Research Center (IRC) for Machine Learning at Georgia Tech (ML@GT) was established in Summer 2016 to foster research and academic activities in and around the discipline of Machine Learning. This center aims to create a community that leverages […]
Paper [bibtex key= 2016-Zia-FDASTD] Abstract Understanding surgical workflow has been a key concern of the medical research community. One of the main advantages of surgical workflow detection is real-time operating room (OR) scheduling. For hospitals, each minute of OR time is important in order to reduce cost and increase patient throughput. Traditional approaches in this […]
Paper Abstract The massive growth of sports videos has resulted in a need for automatic generation of sports highlights that are comparable in quality to the hand-edited highlights produced by broadcasters such as ESPN. Unlike previous works that mostly use audio-visual cues derived from the video, we propose an approach that additionally leverages contextual cues […]
Announcement from Georgia Tech’s College of Computing about a new Interdisciplinary Research Center for Machine Learning (ML@GT) that I will be serving as the Inaugural Director. Machine Learning @ Georgia Tech Based in the College of Computing, ML@GT represents all of Georgia Tech. It is tasked with pushing forward the ability for computers to learn […]
Routine evaluation of basic surgical skills in medical schools requires considerable time and effort from supervising faculty. For each surgical trainee, a supervisor has to observe the trainees in-person. Alternatively, supervisors may use training videos, which reduces some of the logistical overhead. All these approaches, however, are still incredibly time-consuming and involve human bias. In this paper, we present an automated system for surgical skills assessment by analyzing video data of surgical activities.
Kudos to the team from Machine Perception at Google Research that just launched the Motion Still App to generate novel photos on an iOS device. This work is in part aimed at combining efforts like Video Textures and Video Stabilization and a lot more. Source: Research Blog: Motion Stills – Create beautiful GIFs from Live […]
