Events

The Emergent Encounters Action Project, in collaboration with AACFTDOAPORUCACIAWOMW, is running a 3-part block printing workshop! All materials and tools are provided. 

Session 1 - Jan 17th - 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. in E5-6008:

Come see a printing process from design to layout to carving to printing. This session will introduce one approach to take an idea in your head and turn it into a finished print. There will also be time to let you roll and pull some prints!

Session 2 - Jan 24th - 12:00 - 1:00 p.m. in E5-6008:

Abstract

Sea ice mapping on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery is important for various purposes, including ship navigation and usage in environmental and climatological studies. Although a series of deep learning-based models have been proposed for automatic sea ice classification on SAR scenes, most of them are flat N-way classifiers that do not consider the uneven visual separability of different sea ice types. To further improve classification accuracy with limited training samples, a hierarchical deep learning-based pipeline is proposed for sea ice mapping from SAR.

Abstract

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) refers to a group of conditions that primarily affect the gut and cause inflammation. In contrast, Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) is a chronic immune-mediated condition characterized by boils in a person's underarms, groyne, and/or under their breasts. In recent years, the research on HS has been gaining a growing level of interest in light of reliable recognition of these two diseases (i.e., IBD and HS) becoming crucial in clinical settings.

Abstract

Achieving reliable and robust performance of visual perception systems with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in real-world industrial applications can be challenging due to highly dynamic conditions and requirements. Traditional AI-based solutions require offline training on high-quality data, making it difficult to accommodate new technologies, data, hardware, tasks, and customer needs without retraining.
