Topic 1:

Deep Metric Learning for Visual Content Understanding

Jiwen Lu

Associate Professor of Department of Automation
Tsinghua University, China

Abstract: In this talk, I will overview the trend of deep metric learning techniques and discuss how they are employed to boost the performance of various visual content understanding tasks. Specifically, I will introduce some of our proposed deep metric learning methods including discriminative deep metric learning, deep localized metric learning, deep coupled metric learning, multi-manifold deep metric learning, deep transfer metric learning, deep adversarial metric learning, and multi-view deep metric learning, which are developed for different application-specific visual content understanding tasks such as face recognition, person re-identification, object recognition, action recognition, visual tracking, image set classification, and visual search. Lastly, I will discuss some open problems in deep metric learning to show how to further develop more advanced deep metric learning methods in the future.

Topic 2:

Challenges in AI Security

Dapeng Oliver Wu

Fellow, IEEE

Professor of Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
University of Florida, USA

Abstract: With the recent breakthroughs, artificial intelligence, especially deep neural networks, is pervasively serving numerous areas such as healthcare, autonomous driving, and Internet of things. Deep neural networks are capable of making accurate predictions and reasonably good decisions but their predictions or decisions are not explicitly explainable. In particular, major security and privacy concerns exist in deep neural networks.

  In this talk, I will first provide an overview of trustworthy deep neural networks and then focus on our recent research on a data-agnostic model stealing attack. The talk will conclude by discussing future research directions in security and privacy concerns and potential countermeasures in deep neural networks.
