PhD Proposal Review: Attention Mechanism in Deep Learning for Visual Recognition Kunpeng Li Location: Zoom Link Abstract: Deep learning models have achieved great success in various tasks for visual recognition such as image classification, semantic segmentation, visual semantic matching etc. Instead of just treating them as black boxes, recently, a tremendous of efforts have been put […]

PhD Proposal Review: Explainable Efficient Models for Computer Vision Applications Wenqian Liu Location: Zoom Link Abstract: State of the art deep learning based models, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and generative models, achieve impressive results, but with their great performance comes great complexity and opacity, huge parametric spaces and little explainability. The criticality of […]

PhD Proposal Review: Active Resource Partitioning and Planning for Storage Systems using Time Series Forecasting and Machine Learning Techniques Maher Kachmar Location: Zoom Link Abstract: In today's enterprise storage systems, supported data services such as snapshot delete or drive rebuild can result in tremendous performance overhead if executed inline along with heavy foreground IO, often […]
