Another was the most cited paper in the high impact neural network journal, Neurocomputing from 2018-2020. He has served on the ACM SIGMM Executive Board and the ACM SIGMM Steering Committee. He was the founding chair of the steering and executive committees for the ACM CIVR and ACM ICMR conferences and the founding editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Multimedia Information Retrieval (Springer and ACM SIGMM).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2>Title: Advances and Paradigms in DeepLearning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep learning approaches have become an important pillar for artificial intelligence and machine learning where major strides have been made in numerous well known grand challenge areas such as computer vision, object recognition, person identification, automatic driving, robotics, scientific imagery analysis and computer aided health diagnosis.\u00a0 In the first generation of CNN based deep learning methods, the primary goal was toward solving problems that had static conditions (e.g. single modality, fixed number of classes, whole image) and where very large training datasets were available.\u00a0 In the second generation, the scientists are relaxing those conditions and tackling problems such as small training datasets and incremental learning and forgetting.\u00a0 In this talk I introduce and discuss how we are taking early steps toward a better understanding of the fundamentals of deep learning approaches, proposing new neural architectures and tackling well known vision problems such as automatic image segmentation, object detection\/recognition, combining multiple modalities using embedded spaces and learning incremental neural models where the number of classes can change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The talk will be delivered online<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-css-opacity has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-background is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flex wp-container-6 wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"196\" height=\"273\" src=\"https:\/\/annpr2022.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/me_very_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>Michael Lones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"block-bd7be522-4cee-4146-914a-129831edc7a4\">Associate Professor<br>School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, <br>Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh<br><a href=\"https:\/\/press.liacs.nl\/mlew\/\">http:\/\/www.macs.hw.ac.uk\/~ml355\/#<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:70%\">\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap has-medium-font-size\">Michael Lones is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Heriot-Watt&nbsp;University in Edinburgh, Scotland.
