UOW CENTRE FOR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AI DAY WEBINAR When: Tue, 2 November 2021, 9:00 AM – 5:20 PM AEDT Zoom: Link to be provided closer to event Registration link: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/ai-day-of-centre-for-artificial-intelligence-uow-tickets-193264267627?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=escb Artificial Intelligence (AI) has recently achieved significant progress and demonstrated unprecedented performance in many research tasks and practical applications. AI is transforming the world and changing the way we live. Centre for Artificial Intelligence (CAI) at University of Wollongong conducts pioneering research to understand AI technologies and develop innovative theories and techniques for AI. It transfers knowledge to industry, community, and society to help people maximally benefit from the deployment of AI. In this webinar, the members and collaborators of the Centre will present their latest research in various AI-related areas including computer vision, machine learning, multi-agent system, intelligent manufacturing, and smart applications. This event invites leading national and international researchers to share their findings. Also, it invites the key figures from academia, industry, business, and national science agency to discuss the potential impact of AI. Keynote Speakers Rama Chellappa, Bloomberg Distinguished Professor, Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University Title: Are Machines Learning Abstract: In this talk, I will briefly survey my group’s recent works on building operational systems for face recognition, vehicle re-identification, and action recognition using deep learning. While reasonable success can be claimed, many open problems still remain to be addressed. These include bias detection and mitigation, domain adaptation and generalization, and handling adversarial attacks. Some of our recent works addressing these challenges will be presented. Mohammed Bennamoun, Winthrop Professor, School of Physics, Maths and Computing, Computer Science and Software Engineering, The University of Western Australia. Title: Towards Intelligent Multi-Modal Human-Robot Interaction Abstract: Robotics has made significant progress in cases of structured and constrained environments, e.g. manufacturing. However, it is still in its infancy when it comes to applications in unstructured and unconstrained situations e.g. social environments. In some aspects such as speed, strength and accuracy, robots have superior capacities compared to humans but that is not the case for person/object recognition, language, manual dexterity, and social interaction and understanding capabilities. On the other hand, new technologies in robotics are crucial to ensure e.g., an economically sustainable workforce in an ageing society and allow people to live independently with dignity and greater quality of life. Such technology will have broad commercial, economic and social impacts. This talk will describe few 3D computer vision projects and tools used towards the development of a platform for assistive robotics in messy living environments. Various systems with applications and their motivations will be described including 3D object recognition, 3D face/ear biometrics, Grasping of unknown objects, and systems to estimate the 3D pose of a person.
