Understanding Video and Audio at Google
- 👤 Speaker: Tom Walters - Google Zurich Labs
- 📅 Date & Time: Wednesday 30 October 2013, 14:15 - 15:15
- 📍 Venue: Lecture Theatre 1, Computer Laboratory
Abstract
Tom is a Senior Research Scientist at Google. He currently works in Zurich on improving YouTube’s ContentID system.
Google’s mission is to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. An enormous chunk of the world’s information is in the form of video and audio, so systems that can efficiently index, search and understand these forms of content are crucial. In this talk, I’ll discuss research on video and audio understanding, including technologies for landmark detection, object recognition, cover-song detection and sound-effects search. I’ll also present some recent work done at Google on distributed training of deep neural networks, and its application to video analysis tasks.
Series This talk is part of the Wednesday Seminars - Department of Computer Science and Technology series.
