OVERVIEW

The aim of the IAPR Summer School on Machine and Vision Intelligence 
(VISMAC 2018) is to provide in-depth courses of the state-of-the-art 
research in Artificial Intelligence, and specifically Deep Learning, for 
Computer Vision with a global scope aiming at updating participants 
about the fundamentals and most recent advances of different deep 
learning architectures, which will be explained through three types of 
mainstream applications, to image processing, pattern recognition and 
computer vision.

ORGANIZER

CVPRLab, Department of Science and Technologies, University of Naples 
Parthenope

ENDORSEMENT

The school is endorsed by the ‘Computer Vision, Pattern recognition and 
machine Learning Italian Association’ (CVPL) and by the International 
Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), under the Technical Committees
- IAPR-TC03 - Neural Networks & Computational Intelligence
- IAPR-TC12 - Multimedia and Visual Information Systems

LOCATION

The school will be hosted by Hotel Oriente in Vico Equense at Sorrento 
Coast (https://www.hoteloriente.it) near Sorrento, Pompei, Capri, 
Naples, one of the most beautiful 4-star hotels of the Sorrento coast, 
perfectly
combined with the history of the ancient town of noble Etruscan origin.
The structure is reminiscent of the architecture of a fishing village, 
with rooms connected by staircases and terraces, to fully revive the 
typical Sorrento Peninsula.

LECTURES

The courses will be delivered by world renowned experts in the field and 
will cover both theoretical and practical aspects of Artificial 
Intelligence in Computer Vision problems together with advanced homework 
sessions.
A (preliminary) list of the topics covered by the lectures is the 
following:

Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning in Vision
Interpreting and Explaining Deep Models in Computer Vision
 From task-specific to task-agnostic deep learning in computer vision
Robust Scene Analysis
Multi-Class Multi-Instance Model Fitting
Deep Learning for Affective Computing
Automatic Selection, Configuration and Composition of ML Algorithms
Challenges and Opportunities in Machine Vision
Background Subtraction and Initialization Models
Tracking and Detection
3D Reconstruction and Global Averaging

The labs will include TensorFlow, Cafe, Theano, Torch sessions for 
computer vision, alngo with homework sessions about well known 
challenges and benchmarks like, among others, ChaLearn Looking at 
People, Visual Object Tracking (VOT), Change Detection (CDnet), Emotion 
Recognition in the Wild Challenge (EmotiW).

SPEAKERS

SCHOLARSHIPS

The school offers a limited number of partial scholarships for students 
requesting a financial support. The scholarships are gratefully awarded 
by IAPR and CVPL (the Italian IAPR branch) and will cover either part of 
the fees (which include the full board accommodation and the school 
courses). A filled application form must be sent to prof. Alfredo 
Petrosino, together with a curriculum vitae, via e-mail to: 
vismac2018 at uniparthenope.it

PUBLICATIONS

Lectures together with selected school participant works will be 
published in printed and in electronic version in the Springer’s Lecture 
Notes in Computer Science series (LNCS) by Springer Verlag. Selected 
works will have chance of publication in international journal special 
issues.

SCHOOL ACTIVITIES

- PhD Forum: students present their research work to leading 
researchers. Submission of a poster is required.
- Reading Group: students will be asked to study one or more research 
papers and discuss their perspective view.
- Hackathon: In 24 hours the participants should develop a prototype for 
Interaction (to make easier ideas and information sharing), 
Sustainability (to support an eco sustainable development), Quality of 
Life (to contribute to the improvement of the life style).
- Guided Tour: A guided tour at the excavation of Pompeii will be 
scheduled on one day afternoon during the school.

Awards and prizes will be offered. Detail on the school website.
