Deep Learning Meetup #12

Dear DeepLearners,

Our next Meetup is scheduled on Wednesday December 20 at 7:00 pm

Micael Carvalho (PhD candidate at LIP6) - Metric learning for crossmodal alignment

Abstract: Modeling different data types into the same representation space is one of the leading approaches for solving problems involving visual and textual data. Recently, large-scale datasets allowed them to be tackled from different angles, including the use of partial annotations. In the light of these advances, we introduce modern metric learning strategies for feature-space alignment, with particular interest in multi-task and cross-modality.

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

Timothée Lacroix (PhD candidate at Facebook AI Research) - Knowledge Base Completion : state of the art and challenges

Abstract: We'll start with an introduction to the problem of knowledge base completion and a few methods that have been proposed. Then we'll mention generalization guarantees and regularization for these methods, linking to the work done in collaborative filtering.

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

Renaud Allioux (CTO at EarthCube) - Satellite Imagery and weakly supervised learning

Abstract: After introducing specificites of deep learning application using satellite images,
we will discuss the problem of image annotation and the application of weakly supervised method to detect small objects

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

As usual, pizzas and drinks will be provided after the talks.
