Large-Scale Multimedia Analysis / Fall 2024

Updates


Course Description

Can a robot watch Youtube to learn about the world? What makes us laugh? How to bake a cake? Why is Kim Kardashian famous? Large-scale multi-media is an incomparable window into our world, with thousands of hours of data available on almost every aspect of our everyday life. The analysis of such data is a unique opportunity to perform deep multi-modal analysis that goes beyond image or video retrieval, speech to text, or other existing tasks. This is a 12-unit class or lab covering fundamentals of large-scale computer vision, audio and speech processing, multi-media files and streaming, multi-modal signal processing, video retrieval, semantics, and text (possibly also: speech, music) generation.
