Dear All,
The following seminar will be given at Imperial College London:
Title: Non-Euclidean problems in human centered information processing
Speaker: prof. Robert P. W. Duin from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands
Time: 3-4pm, 7 February 2007
Location:
Room 311,
Department of Computing,
Imperial College London,
Huxley Building,
180 Queen’s Gate
London SW7 2AZ
Abstract:
A frequently encountered problem is the big gap between the automatic
analysis of data obtained by physical sensors and the human judgement
of observations of the same events. Dedicated solutions are searched
in various applications of man-machine interaction, multi-media studies,
pattern recognition and related fields. This is partly caused by the
fact that similarities and dissimilarities as observed by humans
have often a non-Euclidean or even non-metric nature, especially when
they are related to sensor data.
In the presentation some examples from the field of pattern recognition
will be given and possible directions for a solution will be discussed.
Best regards,
Piotr Juszczak
