DESCRIPTION:The last decade has seen a revolution in the theory and applic
 ation of computer vision and machine learning.  The talk\, to be given by 
 Professor Roberto Cipolla of Cambridge University Engineering Department\,
  will begin with a brief review of some of the fundamentals with a few exa
 mples of the reconstruction\, registration and recognition of three-dimens
 ional objects and their translation into novel commercial applications. \n
 \nRoberto will then introduce some recent results from real-time deep lear
 ning systems that exploit geometry and compute model uncertainty.  Underst
 anding what a model does not know is a critical part of safe machine learn
 ing systems.  New tools\, such as Bayesian deep learning\, provide a frame
 work for understanding uncertainty in deep learning models\, aiding interp
 retability and safety of such systems.  Additionally\, knowledge of geomet
 ry is an important consideration in designing effective algorithms.  In pa
 rticular\, he will explore the use of geometry to help design networks tha
 t can be trained with unlabelled data for stereo and for human body pose a
 nd shape recovery.\n\nRoberto Cipolla obtained a B.A. (Engineering) from t
 he University of Cambridge in 1984 and an M.S.E. (Electrical Engineering) 
 from the University of Pennsylvania in 1985. From 1985 to 1988 he studied 
 and worked in Japan at the Osaka University of Foreign Studies (Japanese L
 anguage) and Electrotechnical Laboratory.   In 1991 he was awarded a D.Phi
 l. (Computer Vision) from the University of Oxford and from 1991-92 was a 
 Toshiba Fellow and engineer at the Toshiba Corporation Research and Develo
 pment Centre in Kawasaki\, Japan.  He joined the Department of Engineering
 \, University of Cambridge in 1992 as a Lecturer and a Fellow of Jesus Col
 lege. He became a Reader in Information Engineering in 1997 and a Professo
 r in 2000.\n\nHis research interests are in computer vision and robotics a
 nd include the recovery of motion and 3D shape of visible surfaces from im
 age sequences\; object detection and recognition\; novel man-machine inter
 faces using hand\, face and body gestures\; real-time visual tracking for 
 localisation and robot guidance\; aplications of computer vision in mobile
  phones\, visual inspection and image-retrieval and video search. He has a
 uthored 2 books\, edited 12 volumes and co-authored more than 400 papers.\
