Think Computer Science 2014: Computer Vision and Machine Learning

Speaker: Mukta Prasad, Assistant Professor in Creative Technologies at Trinity College Dublin.
From Kinect for Xbox to self-driving cars to medical diagnosis to advanced robotics, computer vision and machine learning are the key to many of the innovative products of today and the future. These are incredibly exciting research areas, not just because of the technologies they allow us to build, but because of the way mathematics and computer programming come together to solve really hard problems. Mukta will show some examples of how we use computer vision and machine learning to solve problems such as recognizing objects in images, or building 3D models from photos and how students can acquaint themselves with this exciting field and explore the opportunities ahead.
