Who: Le Lu What: "Visual Representation Bridging Machine Learning to Computer Vision" When: 10:30-11:30am, Wednesday, October 29 Where: 447 Wachman Hall With what: cookies and drinks. Hello CIS department, Le Lu's talk on Wednesday is at a new time, 10:30am-11:30am (NOT 3pm). He is giving a talk on his research on knowledge representation for computer vision tasks, including biomedical imaging. ------------------------------------------------------------- Speaker: Le Lu (Siemens Research) Title: "Visual Representation Bridging Machine Learning to Computer Vision"

Come join ACM for a fun night of food and film! We couldn't agree on a movie, so just bring your favorite and we'll vote! We hope to make this a regular event, so come on by!

Hi all! I just got this message and I think this would be a GREAT way for ACM members to get to know one another, and to get to know other student organizations. Here are the basic details: WHAT: Laser Tag WHEN: Sat, Oct 11th, 1-9 PM WHERE:Student Pavilion HOW MUCH: FREE!! I will check out the sign up board tomorrow and sign up ACM! I'm really hoping people come out for this, it sounds like a lot of fun! Let me know if you have any questions. If you can give me a heads-up that you're coming so I have an idea that would be great. Thanks! Hope to see you all on Saturday!

Who: Thomas Young What: EEG Signal Processing When: 1-2pm, Monday, Oct 6 Where: 447 Wachman Hall Web: http://www.ist.temple.edu/~hbling/journal_club.htm Abstract:

Who: Xin Li What: "Learning to Localize Objects with Structured Output Regression" When: 1-2pm, Monday, Sept. 29 Where: 447 Wachman Hall Web: http://www.ist.temple.edu/~hbling/journal_club.htm Abstract: Sliding window classifiers are among the most successful and widely applied techniques for object localization. However, training is typically done in a way that is not specific to the localization task. First a binary classifier is trained using a sample of positive and negative examples, and this classifier is subsequently applied to multiple regions within test images.

Come meet this year's officers and talk about the changes coming to ACM. We have a LOT to do this year and are really excited about getting more members involved than ever. If you have any ideas or questions for ACM or want to be involved, please come to the meeting and check it out. There will be snacks!

Who: Prof. Haibin Ling What: "Recognition, Detection, and Analysis from Visual Information" When: 3-4pm, Wednesday, Sept. 24 Where: 447 Wachman Hall With what: cookies and drinks. Hello CIS department, Next Wednesday, come hear Prof. Haibin Ling, our newest faculty member in the CIS department, speak on his recent work in computer vision, including work on detecting and classifying shapes in images, and on applications in biomedical imaging. An abstract for the talk and a bio are below. Come hear all about it! -------------------------------------------------------------
