Multi-level Optimization Approaches to Computer Vision
On a broad level, computer graphics involves representing 3D information in 2D. Computer vision can be thought of as the inverse problem – inferring 3D information from a projected representation. This talk will discuss two…

Ada
Ada is the first first architectural pavilion project to incorporate artificial intelligence, Ada’s knitted light immerses visitors in a responsive and interactive glow of photoluminescence driven by individual and collective expression data gathered and housed…
The making of Ada, Microsoft’s latest Artist in Residence installation
Ada, a two-story structure made of 3D printed nodes, fiberglass rods and fabric digitally knit with photoluminescent yarn, uses AI to translate anonymized data about facial expressions, noise, voice tones and language into a choreographed…
Efficient and Scalable Deep Learning
In deep learning, researchers keep gaining higher performance by using larger models. However, there are two obstacles blocking the community to build larger models: (1) training larger models is more time-consuming, which slows down model…
Data science and ML for human well-being with Jina Suh
Using technology to help us improve our health is nothing new: a quick web search returns hundreds of apps and devices claiming to help us get fit, quit smoking, master anxiety or just “find our…
