Finding Patterns in Pictures
Abstract:
Explore the evolving landscape of computer vision as Prof. B.S. Manjunath delves into its broader applications beyond everyday object recognition. The discussion will span diverse fields such as neuroscience, materials science, ecology, and conservation. Prof. Manjunath will showcase innovative applications, including a novel approach to malware detection and classification. The talk will conclude with an overview of a unique platform designed to foster reproducible computer vision and encourage interdisciplinary collaborations between vision/ML researchers and domain scientists through the sharing of methods and data.
