VORTRAG ********* Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence (OFAI), Freyung 6/6, A-1010 Wien Tel.: +43-1-5336112-19, Fax: +43-1-5336112-77, Email: sec@ofai.at Dr. Christoph Lampert Institute of Science and Technology (I.S.T.) Austria, Lampert-Group Klosterneuburg "Structured Learning and Prediction in Computer Visionᅵ Powerful statistical models that can be learned efficiently from large amounts of data are currently revolutionizing computer vision. These models possess rich internal structure reflecting task-specific relations and constraints. In the first part of my talk I will introduce the most popular classes of structured models in computer vision: conditional random fields and structured output support vector machines. Illustrating their similarities and differences I will explain the most relevant algorithms for probabilistic inference and maximum-a-posteriori prediction, and then give more details about the aspect of efficient parameter learning from training data. A second part of my talk will illustrate exemplary applications of structured models in computer vision, in particular for the tasks of object localization in natural images and image segmentation with topological constraints. ********* Time: Wednesday, 24 November 2010, 18:30 sharp Location: Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence, OFAI Freyung 6, Stiege 6, 1010 Wien.
