Computer Vision Student Seminars

The Computer Vision Student Seminars at the University of Maryland College Park are a student-run series of talks given by current graduate students for current graduate students.

To receive regular information about the Computer Vision Student Seminars, subscribe to our mailing list or our talks list.

Description[edit]

The purpose of these talks is to:

Encourage interaction between computer vision students;
Provide an opportunity for computer vision students to be aware of and possibly get involved in the research their peers are conducting;
Provide an opportunity for computer vision students to receive feedback on their current research;
Provide speaking opportunities for computer vision students.

The guidelines for the format are:

An hour-long weekly meeting, consisting of one 20-40 minute talk followed by discussion and food.
The talks are meant to be casual and discussion is encouraged.
Topics may include current research, past research, general topic presentations, paper summaries and critiques, or anything else beneficial to the computer vision graduate student community.

This summer CVSS will be held as a journal club on Thursdays at 4pm in AVW 4424.
