Course description

CSE 590V is a seminar/reading group focused on recent work in computer vision. We will cover papers from recent and upcoming conferences related to computer vision (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, NIPS). The seminar is open to everyone. We especially encourage first year graduate students who may be considering research in computer vision or related areas to participate.


Logistics

Time: Fridays 11am-12pm

Location: CSE 403

Organizers: Fereshteh Sadeghi (fsadeghi @ cs washington edu) and Supasorn Suwajanakorn (supasorn @ cs washington edu)


Presentations

Each week we will cover a recent topic in computer vision by reading and discussing one or more relevant papers. A person will lead the discussion by presenting the chosen paper(s) for the week. We encourage all attendees to read the paper(s) beforehand and to actively participate in the discussion.

Each registered student will attend all classes and prepare a presentation (duration to be determined) on a selected paper(s). We will assign topics/papers during the first week based on preferences.

Each presenter will meet with the organizers before the class date to discuss the upcoming presentation, show prepared slides, and resolve any questions.
