Track 2

Deep Learning and Optimization encompass a wide array of techniques employed in pattern recognition and machine learning (PRML). Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, employs artificial neural networks with multiple layers (deep architectures) to understand and interpret data patterns. Neural generative models, including autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), enable the creation of new data instances resembling the training set. Autoencoders compress data while GANs generate new instances through a duelling network process. These tools further aid in scene analysis and understanding, enabling machines to make sense of complex visual environments. The field also includes multi-view learning, transfer learning, low-shot, semi-, and unsupervised learning methods. Multi-view learning aims to improve the model’s performance by understanding things better from various perspectives. Transfer learning enhances learning efficiency and performance when a pre-trained model is used on a new problem. Low-shot learning deals with scarce data scenarios, while unsupervised learning identifies hidden patterns in unlabelled data. Finally, motion and tracking engage these tools to predict and track dynamic object movement, vital for applications such as autonomous driving or video surveillance. All these methodologies are critical for pushing the frontiers of PRML and its applications.
