Prof. Rama Chellappa from University of Maryland, USA visited the Department and delivered a Distinguished Lecture on “Deep Representations, Adversarial Learning and Domain Adaptation for Some Computer Vision Problems” on 6 July 2018. In the lecture, Prof. Chellappa discussed methods based on deep representations for designing robust computer vision systems with applications in unconstrained face and action verification and recognition, expression recognition, subject clustering and attribute extraction. He then further presented some new results on generative adversarial learning and domain adaptation for improving the robustness of computer vision systems. The lecture was full of constructive interaction and well received.
