Abstract:

Representation learning is a fundamental research problem in computer vision, because it benefits downstream computer vision applications, such as detection and segmentation. Due to the success of deep learning, representation learning has undergone a transition from “feature engineering” (SIFT/HOG) to “architecture engineering” (GoogleNet/VGG/ResNet). However, a lot of expert knowledge and ample computational resources are still required to secure a good architecture that can capture robust representations. This presentation will provide insight into algorithm design to discover robust architectures to save GPU resources and increase speed.
