DESCRIPTION:Via Zoom Video Conferencing\n\n \n\nComputer Vision has made gr
 eat strides forward in the last decade\, and yet\, the perception of visio
 n systems is still impoverished. Current systems excel at tasks that are e
 asy to define and evaluate\, such as the classification of images and the 
 detection of objects. However\, they fail to capture the things that reall
 y matter to humans\, such as the non-verbal\, detailed information that is
  essential for the majority of everyday human behaviors. In my work\, I am
  trying to push the limits of computer vision toward such a rich perceptio
 n. I will cover several projects that take steps in this direction by mini
 ng for temporal changes in historical data\, using multimodal data to lear
 n about interpersonal communication\, and modeling individual appearances.
  Through these examples\, I will discuss some of the tools needed to learn
  rich representations directly from big data.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nShiry Ginosa
 r is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Vision in the CS Department of the Univ
 ersity of California Berkeley\, advised by Professor Alyosha Efros. Prior 
 to joining the Computer Vision group\, she was part of Professor Bjoern Ha
 rtmann's Human-Computer Interaction lab at Berkeley. Earlier in her career
 \, she was a Visiting Scholar at the CS Department of Carnegie Mellon Univ
 ersity\, working with Professors Luis von Ahn and Manuel Blum in the field
  of Human Computation. Between her academic roles\, she spent four years a
 t Endeca as a Senior Software Engineer. In her distant past\, Shiry traine
 d fighter pilots in flight simulators as a Staff Sergeant in the Israeli A
 ir Force. Shiry’s research has been covered by The New Yorker\, The Wall
  Street Journal\, and The Washington Post\, amongst others. Her work has b
 een featured on PBS NOVA\, exhibited at the Israeli Design Museum and is p
 art of the permanent collection of the Deutsches Museum. Her patent-pendin
 g research work inspired the founding of a startup. Shiry is a recipient o
 f the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship\, the California Legislature Grant 
 for graduate studies\, and the Samuel Silver Memorial Scholarship Award fo
 r combining intellectual achievement in science and engineering with serio
 us humanistic and cultural interests.
