However, while wholesale amnesia is unquestionably dangerous for the field, from a pragmatic point of view, even the \u0026ldquo;old guard\u0026rdquo; concedes that it is no longer\u0026nbsp;necessary to teach historic work that was truly an intellectual dead end. This short course is an attempt to grapple with the question of what \u0026ldquo;classical\u0026rdquo; computer vision techniques should be\u0026nbsp;considered a \u0026ldquo;must know\u0026rdquo; for researchers entering the field today, and how past trends and approaches should inform the field as it looks poised to enter a challenging phase\u0026mdash;continuing its\u0026nbsp;spurt of rapid growth even while the initial momentum from the \u0026ldquo;deep learning revolution\u0026rdquo; begins to fade and negative societal impacts of some maturing technologies come into view.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWeek 1 (January 28-30)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIntroduction; Historical Overview\u0026mdash;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/robotics.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/lazebnik\/lazebnik-1.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELecture Slides\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTuesday, January 28, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Auditorium 118\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EConnections to Cognitive Science and Psychophysics\u0026mdash;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/robotics.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/lazebnik\/lazebnik-2.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELecture Slides\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWednesday, January 29, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Auditorium 118\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHistory of Ideas in Recognition: Part I\u0026mdash;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/robotics.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/lazebnik\/lazebnik-3-4.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELecture Slides\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThursday, January 30, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Auditorium 118\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWeek 2 (February 4\u0026ndash;6)\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHistory of Ideas in Recognition: Part II\u0026mdash;\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/robotics.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/lazebnik\/lazebnik-3-4.pdf\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003ELecture Slides\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTuesday, February 4, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Banquet Hall\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFuture Trends\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWednesday, February 5, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Auditorium 118\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EEthical and Societal Impacts of Computer Vision Technologies\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThursday, February 6, 2020\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n3:00 pm\u0026ndash;4:30 pm\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nTSRB Auditorium 118\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EInstructor Bio\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/h3\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESvetlana \u0026ldquo;Lana\u0026rdquo; Lazebnik is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (U of I).\u0026nbsp;She received her Doctor of Philosophy degree in Computer Science at U of I in 2006 and was an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill from 2007 to 2011.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELazebnik\u0026rsquo;s research specialty is computer vision and her main research themes include scene understanding, joint modeling of images and text, and deep learning techniques for visual recognition problems.\u0026nbsp;In recent years, her research group has worked on fundamental \u0026ldquo;building blocks\u0026rdquo; for image-language understanding, including two-branch neural networks for matching images and sentences; and datasets and models for visual grounding, or localizing visual concepts described by phrases in image regions.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELazebnik\u0026rsquo;s notable awards include the 2016 Longuet-Higgins Prize at CVPR 2016 for a CVPR 2006 paper with significant impact on computer vision; the 2013 Sloan Research Fellowship; the 2009 Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship; and the 2008 NSF CAREER Award.\u0026nbsp;Lazebnik is currently editor in chief of the\u0026nbsp;\u003Cem\u003EInternational Journal of Computer Vision\u003C\/em\u003E.\u0026nbsp;She served as program chair for the 2012 European Conference on Computer Vision and the 2019 International Conference on Computer Vision.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIRIM Visiting Faculty Fellows present a mini-course on their research specialty as part of their time on the Georgia Tech campus.
