===Exploring Context in Unsupervised Object Identification Scenarios===
===Exploring Context in Unsupervised Object Identification Scenarios===
Speaker: [http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~raghuram/ Raghuraman Gopalan] -- Date: July 7, 2011
The utility of context for supervised object recognition has been well acknowledged from the early seventies, and has been practically demonstrated by many systems in the last few years. The goal of this talk is to understand the role of context in unsupervised pattern identification scenarios. We consider two problems of clustering a set of unlabelled data points using maximum margin principles, and adapting a classifier trained on a specific domain to identify instances across novel domain shifting transformations, and propose contextual sources that provide pertinent information on the identity of the unlabelled data.
