ABSTRACT:
For the workshop I was planning to talk about AdaBoost (text detection), DPM's (Pascal object detection), and if there is time I could talk about deep belief nets also. But I'll keep it flexible. So the theme would be Computer Vision for Detecting Objects.
BIO:
Alan YUILLE received his B.A. degree in mathematics from the University of Cambridge in 1976, and completed his Ph.D. degree in theoretical physics at Cambridge in 1980 studying under Stephen Hawking. Following this, he held a postdoc position with the Physics Department, University of Texas at Austin, and the Institute for Theoretical Physics, Santa Barbara. He then joined the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT (1982a"1986), and followed this with a faculty position in the Division of Applied Sciences at Harvard (1986a"1995), rising to the position of associate professor. From 1995a"2002 Alan worked as a senior scientist at the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute in San Francisco. In 2002 he accepted a position as full professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of California at Los Angeles. He has over one hundred and fifty peer-reviewed publications in vision, neural networks, and physics, and has co-authored two books: Data Fusion for Sensory Information Processing Systems (with J. J. Clark) and Two and Three-Dimensional Patterns of the Face (with P.W.Hallinan, G. G. Gordon, P. J. Giblin and D. B. Mumford); he also co-edited the book Active Vision (with A. Blake). He has won several academic prizes and is a Fellow of IEEE.
