DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nNowadays\, collecting the right dataset for mach
 ine learning is often more challenging than choosing the model. We address
  this with photorealistic synthetic training data – labelled images of h
 umans made using computer graphics. With synthetics we can generate clean 
 labels without annotation noise or error\, produce labels otherwise imposs
 ible to annotate by hand\, and easily control variation and diversity in o
 ur datasets. I will show you how synthetics underpins our work on understa
 nding humans\, including how it enables fast and accurate 3D face reconstr
 uction\, in the wild.\n\n*Bio*\n\nDr. Erroll Wood is a Staff Software Engi
 neer at Google\, working on Digital Humans. Previously\, he was a member o
 f Microsoft's Mixed Reality AI Lab\, where he worked on hand tracking for 
 HoloLens 2\, avatars for Microsoft Mesh\, synthetic data for face tracking
 \, and Holoportation. He did his PhD at the University of Cambridge\, work
 ing on gaze estimation.\n\nGoogle Calendar for Future Seminars: https://ca
