BMVA Symposium on Video Understanding - London, 25 Sep 2019 - Call for
Participation
https://dimadamen.github.io/bmva_symposium_2019/

------------------------

New models for video understanding remain a bottleneck for research despite
the increase in the number of large-scale video datasets. This symposium
brings together 18 leading researchers who have contributed significantly
to video understanding, collectively participated in the collection of
datasets such as: UCF, HMDB, THUMOS, Hollywood, Hollywood2, Kinetics,
Charades,ActivityNet, YouTube8M, YouCook, Breakfast, EPIC-Kitchens, DALY
and AVA, amongst others! With a star-studded list of speakers, we aim to
ask the question, what is missing in video understanding to catch up with
the success witnessed in object detection or language translation?

Additionally, the symposium will feature a keynote from Jeff Zacks
(University of Washington) on the human perception for event recognition.

This is a focused one day symposium [9am-6pm], sponsored by the British
Machine Vision Association (BMVA), to be held in central London at the
British Computer Society on Wed 25th of September 2019.

The symposium’s objective is to share the latest research, discuss current
and future challenges, and plan for collaborations on video understanding
beyond the simplified concept of classification of trimmed videos. The
event will bring together 150 students, faculty, and research scientists,
from both academia and industry, for an opportunity to exchange ideas and
connect over a mutual interest in video understanding.

List of speakers:

Jeff Zacks, Washington University in St. Louis (Keynote)

Rahul Sukthankar, Google Research, CMU
Cordelia Schmid, INRIA
Cees Snoek, University of Amsterdam
Jason Corso, University of Michigan
Abhinav Gupta, Carnegie Mellon University
