BMVA Symposium: Transfer Learning (TL) in Computer Vision (CV) - TLCV

Weds 25th Jan 2017, London

Chairs:

Dr Dima Damen (Bristol), Dr Gabriela Csurka (Xerox) and Dr Timothy Hospedales (QMUL)

Keynotes Speakers:

Prof Massimiliano Pontil (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and UCL – *TL Methodologies,

Prof Peter Hall (Bath) – *TL across Visual Domains – From Images to Sketches

Invited Speakers:

Dr Teo de Campos (University of Surrey) – Transductive TL for Activity recognition,

Dr Adrien Gaidon (XRCE) – *TL from Gaming Environments to Real Images

Programme

The Computer Vision community is in need of moving beyond dataset or task-specific methods towards those that can efficiently adapt to new tasks or domains in a supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised manner. We aim in this technical meeting to bring together leading researchers, at various levels in their career, with expertise or strong interest in TL for Computer Vision problems.
