PartI: Deep Learning for Visual information
Abstract:
In this talk, I will explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to address some of the most pressing social and environmental challenges facing our world today. With its ability to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions, AI has the potential to revolutionize fields such as healthcare, education, and climate science.
However, as AI becomes more powerful and ubiquitous, it also raises important ethical and social questions. How can we ensure that AI is used for the greater good, rather than contributing to inequality and injustice? How can we ensure that the benefits of AI are shared fairly across society, rather than concentrated among a small group of wealthy individuals and corporations?
In this talk, the speaker will delve into various questions about AI applications and their positive impact on society and the environment. The talk will draw on examples of specific AI applications that are already making a difference. For instance, underwater instance segmentation, is the process of detecting and segmenting objects in underwater images. This technology can potentially improve underwater exploration, marine conservation, and disaster response efforts.
Another example is image reconstruction based on compressive sensing. This technique allows for the reconstruction of high-quality images from a limited amount of data, which can be particularly useful in applications such as medical imaging or remote sensing. The third topic is the low night image enhancement, which is a technology that enhances images taken in low-light conditions. This can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of applications such as surveillance, transportation safety, and security.
By exploring these and other examples of AI applications, the talk aims to demonstrate the potential of AI to make a positive impact on society and the environment, and to inspire further innovation in
Ultimately, this talk will aim to inspire and empower attendees to think critically about the role of AI in shaping our future, and to explore ways in which they can harness this powerful technology to create a more just, equitable, and sustainable world.
