Title:
Challenges on Bridging the Gap between Vision and Language (V&L) information
Abstract:
The speaker has been working on multimedia contents analysis, mostly
between Vision and Language (V&L) information for the past 25 years.
Thanks to the recent advancement of visual information processing
tools and the increase of available real-world data, it has become
realistic to analyze the general relation between V&L information.
This talk introduces two such attempts; 1) Controllable image
captioning which quantifies the "Imageability" (psycholingustics
concept) of words / sentences, and generates captions with different
levels of imageability, and 2) Modeling the relation between human
motion and mimetic words which allows to describe human gaits by
mimetic words, and also generate human gaits from mimetic words.
The speaker believes such work will lead to bridging the gap between
V&L information.

Title:
Visual Analytics: The Role of Humans in Multimedia Data Analysis
Abstract:
Never before in history data is generated and collected at such
high volumes as it is today. For the analysis of large multimedia
data sets, there is trend to fully automate the data analysis process.
In this talk, we argue that for the analysis to be effective, in many
cases it is important to include the human in the data exploration
process and combine the flexibility, creativity, and general knowledge
of humans with the analytical capabilities of today's computers.
Visual analytics seeks to integrate the human in the data analysis
process, applying its abilities to the large data sets. Presenting
data in an interactive, graphical form provides effective ways to
understand and analyze the data, allowing novel discoveries and
empowering individuals to take control of the analytical process.
In the visual analysis process, it is not obvious what can be done
best by automated analysis and what should be done by interactive
visual methods. In dealing with massive data, the use of automated
methods is mandatory, but there is also a wide range of problems
where the use of interactive visual methods is beneficial. The talk
discusses the different roles of interactive visualization and
automated analysis techniques and exemplifies them with several
application examples, illustrating the exiting potential of current
visual analysis techniques but also their limitations.

Title:
Computer Vision and Graphics for Real-World Challenges
Abstract:
With the recent advancements in sensing technology and pervasive computing devices, the fields of computer vision and graphics are witnessing renewed importance in addressing real-world problems. In this talk, I will be discussing my research relating to 3D reconstruction, scene understanding, content generation, and fabrication. My talk will also overview ways this core research can be used in multidisciplinary projects involving city planning, seafloor surveying, and fishery design. I will conclude my talk by discussing potential collaborative projects between computer vision, graphics, and other disciplines to address challenging issues related to human empowerment and the building of sustainable environments.
