Workshop on Domain Adaptation for Visual Understanding (DAVU)
Joint IJCAI/ECAI/AAMAS/ICML 2018 Workshop
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/DAVU2018/
http://iab-rubric.org/ijcai-davu.html
Final Paper Submission Deadline: May 14, 2018
Note: Extended version of accepted papers will be invited for consideration in one of the prestigious journals (approval pending).
Visual understanding is a fundamental cognitive ability in humans which is essential for identifying objects/people and interacting in social space. This cognitive skill makes interaction with the environment extremely effortless and provides an evolutionary advantage to humans as a species. In our daily routines, we, humans, not only learn and apply knowledge for visual recognition,we also have intrinsic abilities of transferring knowledge between related visual tasks, i.e., if the new visual task is closely related to the previous learning, we can quickly transfer this knowledge to perform the new visual task. In developing machine learning based automatedvisual recognition algorithms, it is desired to utilize these capabilities to make the algorithms adaptable. Generally traditional algorithms, given some prior knowledge in a related visual recognition task, do not adapt to a new task and have to learn the new task from the beginning. These algorithms do not consider that the two visual tasks may be related and the knowledge gained in one may be used to learn the new task efficiently in lesser time. Domain adaptation for visual understanding is the area of research, which attempts to mimic this human behavior by transferring the knowledge learned in one or more source domains and use it for learning the related visual processing task in target domain. Recent advances in domain adaptation, particularly in co-training, transfer learning, and online learning have benefited the computer vision significantly. For example, learning from high-resolution source domain images and transferring the knowledge to learning low-resolution target domain information has helped in building improved cross-resolution face recognition algorithms. This special issue will focus on the recent advances on domain adaptation for visual recognition. The organizers invite researchers to participate and submit their research papers in the Domain Adaptation workshop. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Novel algorithms for visual recognition using
Co-training
Transfer learning
Online (incremental/decremental) learning
Covariate shift
Heterogeneous domain adaptation
Dataset bias
Domain adaptation in visual representation learning using
Deep learning
Shared representation learning
Online (incremental/decremental) learning
Multimodal learning
Evolutionary computation-based domain adaptation algorithms
Applications in computer vision such as

سلام
❓من خیلی عجله دارم برای ادامهی تحصیل در خارج از کشور؛ و نیاز به مدرک زبان دارم. ولی زبانم خوب نیست. میشه یه روشی پیشنهاد کنین که خیلی خیلی زود بتونم جواب بگیرم؟
💡 متاسفانه هیچ روش خیلی خیلی سریعی برای یادگیری زبان وجود ندارد. فرآیند زبانآموزی در دنیای واقعی و بهدور از تبلیغات، فرآیندی زمانبر بوده که در بستر زمان رخ میدهد. برای آنکه این فرآیند تسریع شود لازم است که زمان و انرژی زیادی بگذارید و با تلاش زیاد و مستمر دائما خود را با زبان درگیر کنید. شرکت در کلاسهای زبان، تمرین کردن با خودتان یا با دوستی که در حال زبانآموزی است یا زبانش از شما بهتر میباشد، و البته داشتن معلوم خصوصی میتواند به سرعت بخشیدن این روند کمک کند.
✔️ @ApplyTime
❓آخه من شنیدم که میگن آزمون تافل یا آیلتس تکنیکیه و اگه اون تکنیکها رو بلد باشی میتونی به نمرهی مطلوب برسی. برخیا میگن طی 10-20 جلسه هم ممکنه. نظر شما در اینباره چیه؟
💡 نظر ما این است که فرآیند زبانآموزی، فرآیندی زمانبر بوده و تنها در بستر زمان رخ میدهد!! در آزمونهای استاندارد زبان مانند تافل یا آیلتس، با وجود اینکه دانستن برخی از تکنیکها میتواند به شما کمک کند که زمان، انرژی و فکرتان را در هنگام آزمون بهتر مدیریت کنید، اما موفقیت در این آزمونها ریشه در دانش زبان عمومی شما دارد که کسب این مهارت در زبان، تنها در بستر زمان رخ میدهد.
🔍 چنانچه قصد اپلای دارید و زبان شما مناسب نمیباشد، برای اینکه به هدف خود یعنی تحصیل در یک کشور خارجی برسید، حتما زمانی را هم برای زبانآموزی کنار بگذارید؛ نسبت به سطح زبان خود و دریافت نتیجهی مطلوب واقعبین بوده و با خودتان صادق باشید!
✔️ @ApplyTime
❓میتونم یه کشوری برم اول زبان بخونم و بعد همونجا یا یه کشور دیگه ادامهی تحصیل بدم؟
💡 بله این امکان وجود دارد که ابتدا برای دورهی زبان ِ برخی از کشورها اقدام کنید و پس از کسب مدرک زبان مطلوب در همانجا یا کشور دیگری به تحصیل در رشتهی خودتان بپردازید.
🎈 اما ما این روش را اصلا توصیه نمیکنیم. چرا که طی کردن دورهی زبان در یک کشور خارجی بسیار پر هزینه میباشد. مثلا ممکن است شما در ایران با 1 یا 2 میلیون تومان و صرف مدت زمان کافی (بسته به سطح کنونیتان) به نتیجهی مطلوب برسید. اما رسیدن به این نتیجهی مطلوب در یک کشور خارجی چند ده میلیون تومان برای شما هزینه خواهد داشت؛ و از نظر زمانی نیز آنطور نیست که خیلی زیاد سرعت رسیدن به پاسخ را افزایش دهد.
🔍 چیزی که برای ادامهی تحصیل در یک دانشگاه خارجی نیاز دارید (از منظر زبان)، صرفا یک مدرک زبان در سطح مطلوب است؛ اینکه این مدرک زبان را در ایران و یا یک کشور خارجی کسب کرده باشید، در رزومهی شما تاثیری نخواهد داشت.
✔️ @ApplyTime
❓یعنی من اول برم چند ماه فقط زبان بخونم بعد تازه به فکر کارای اپلای باشم؟
💡 با وجود اینکه این روش بسته به شرایط دانشجو میتواند استراتژی خوبی باشد، اما پیشنهاد ما این است که این امور را به صورت موازی جلو ببرید. یعنی همزمان که در حال زبانآموزی هستید، مقدمات اولیه برای اپلای را نیز آماده کنید.
🔍 مقدمات اولیهی اپلای نظیر پیدا کردن کشوری مناسب با اهداف شما، دانشگاهی که رشتهی شما را داشته باشد و با شرایط شما سازگار باشد، پیدا کردن استاد مناسب و یا بورسیههای تحصیلی، و البته آمادهسازی داکیومنتهایی نظیر رزومه، انگیزهنامه، کاور لتر، و متن ایمیل به استاد (که داکیومنتهای بسیار مهمی هستند) نیازمند صرف زمان زیادی میباشند.
🎾 بنابراین پیشنهاد ما موازیکاری با یک استراتژی مطلوب میباشد.

Bayesian models for forecasting in the supply chain
*BRIEF SUMMARY*
The global economy relies heavily on the consumption of goods of all kinds: food, textiles, electronics, equipment, vehicles, etc. The supply chain is the mechanism that accounts for the physical flows of these consumed goods. The supply chain consists of logistics (warehouses, transport vehicles, packaging), finance (billing and payment), and IT (stock status, manufacturing, ordering and shipping). Its efficient functioning has a direct impact on the performance of the economy, on the environment (transport, storage, destruction of useless stock) and on the working conditions of the employees. In this thesis, the objective is to predict the evolution of the outputs in the supply chain, i.e. quantities in locations of storage or sales. The research work of this thesis can be divided into two parts: (1) mathematical modeling of the supply chain, and (2) inference methods for prediction. First, we will model the problem in a probabilistic and generic way, taking into account all possible interactions between the variables of interest. In the second part of this thesis, we will develop Bayesian methods for the probabilistic prediction at all stages of the chain. We will propose novel efficient and accurate algorithms, including but not only sequential learning, in order to avoid the need to reprocess all past data every time new data is available.
*WHERE AND WHEN*
One fully funded PhD position is available in Lille from September/October 2018. The thesis will take place jointly at the engineering school IMT Lille Douai and at a fast-growing company focused on machine learning and data science. Earlier start date can be also considered. Lille is a vibrant, young and dynamic city. Lille lies in the heart of the triangle that links three of Europe’s main metropoles: London (80 min), Paris (60 min), and Brussels (35 min).
*WITH WHO*
The students will be supervised by:
- Víctor Elvira: http://pagesperso.telecom-lille.fr/elvira/
- François Septier: http://pagesperso.telecom-lille.fr/septier/
*CANDIDATE PROFILE*
We are looking for a motivated and talented student with:
- background in machine learning, signal processing, statistics or applied mathematics
- strong mathematical skills
-experience in programming, preferably in Matlab and/or Python.

Global challenge doctoral scholarships
We are offering scholarships in six interdisciplinary projects, aimed at tackling key global challenges.
We are pleased to announce an opening for a postdoc in the lab of Mark van Rossum at the University of Nottingham.
In a EPSRC/ESRC grant on Human-like Computation, we are investigating in the computational role of sleep in cognitive processing and visual reasoning. In particular we are interested in how REM and slow-wave sleep phases map onto processing stages of neurally inspired AI, thereby trying to circumvent some limitations of current deep learning approaches.
This theoretical research is complemented by sleep experiments carried out by the group of Prof Penny Lewis in Cardiff.
The successful candidate will have a PhD (or submitted his/her thesis) and have research experience in either computational neuroscience or machine learning, or a combination of these.
This post is initially a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months.
As Nottingham is currently creating a Centre for Computational Neuroscience,
long-term independent research positions will open up next year.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Mark van Rossum. mark.vanrossum-at-nottingham.ac.uk
Formal applications should be made via the website:

While they provide great control, precision and flexibility to the surgeons, they don’t yet address the cognitive assistance needs in the operating theater. We are on the verge of a new wave of innovations of artificial intelligence powered, context-aware operating theaters. This workshop aims to highlight the potential use of surgical data science, multidisciplinary approaches and teams with a focus on translation and clinical applications that will define future technologies of the next generation operating theaters.

PhD Studentship - Cambridge, UK
Please find below details of a fully funded PhD Studentship with the University of Cambridge, starting in October 2018.
AI for Megacities: Understanding the impact of climate extremes
Project summary
The student will apply Bayesian statistics and machine learning in new and innovative ways to help transform the field of environmental data science. There is an abundance of data relevant to the forecasting of power demand (e.g., details of the built environment, socio-economic forecasts) and also human health (mortality rates). However, such data are not routinely incorporated into future climate risk projections.
The student will work closely with members of the Cambridge Machine Learning group and help develop a climate downscaling framework (incorporating probability distribution modelling) to improve the representation of high-impact climate events within localised urban environments. It is expected that the student will provide intellectual input into the project design throughout the project, and lead their own research activities on a daily-to-weekly basis.
Requirements
A strong background in engineering, physics, mathematics and/or statistics is essential. The candidate must hold an honors degree graded at least upper second-class (2i), and/or a master's degree in a relevant subject. Experience writing and developing code is highly desirable. Meets UK residency requirements (see here)
