DESCRIPTION:Advancing Computer Vision in the Era of Vision Foundation Mode
 ls\n\n \n\nAbstract:\n\nOver the past several decades\, computer vision ha
 s witnessed remarkable progress across a broad range of tasks. Recently\, 
 the field has entered a new era with the emergence of large-scale Vision F
 oundation Models (VFMs). By learning general-purpose visual representation
 s from massive data\, VFMs offer new opportunities to address several long
 -standing challenges in computer vision\, including generalization\, open-
 vocabulary understanding\, and the development of unified models. In this 
 talk\, we will explore the evolving role of VFMs in vision\, spanning seve
 ral paradigms: leveraging frozen VFMs\, adapting VFMs\, developing domain-
 specific VFMs\, and\, ultimately\, using VFMs as agents. Together\, these 
 approaches point toward a broader shift in how we build\, adapt\, and depl
 oy computer vision systems.\n\n \n\nBio:\n\nDr. Xiaoming Liu is Jacqueline
  Maria Hagan Distinguished Professor at the Department of Computer Science
  of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was MSU Foundation Pro
 fessor\, and Anil and Nandita Jain Endowed Professor at the Department of 
 Computer Science and Engineering of Michigan State University (MSU). He re
 ceived Ph.D. degree from Carnegie Mellon University in 2004. Before joinin
 g MSU in 2012 he was a research scientist at General Electric (GE) Global 
 Research. He works on computer vision\, machine learning\, and biometrics 
 especially on face related analysis and 3D vision. He is an Associate Edit
 or of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. He h
 as authored more than 200 scientific publications\, and has filed 35 U.S. 
 patents. His work has been cited over 35000 times according to Google Scho
 lar\, with an H-index of 90. He is a fellow of IEEE and IAPR.  More inform

DESCRIPTION:Aditya Thorat\, International Centre for Theoretical Sciences\
 , Bengaluru\n\nTitle: Finitely dependent processes on Z^d subshifts.\n\nAb
 stract: Finitely dependent processes are a generalisation of independent p
 rocesses which require only that restrictions of the process to sufficient
 ly separated subsets of Z^d are independent. Schramm\, Holroyd and Wilson 
 showed that there are no stationary finitely dependent processes on proper
  3-colorings of Z^d for d>1. But Holroyd and Liggett proved that there are
  stationary finitely dependent processes on proper 4-colorings of Z^d for 
 any d. Proper q-colorings of Z^d are examples of\nso-called subshifts. We 
 will discuss some results addressing the following question: When do subsh
 ifts support finitely dependent processes? We will see how cocycles (a.k.a
 . height functions) on subshifts can be used to answer this question in ce
 rtain classes of subshifts\, including tiling spaces by a collection of re
 ctangles in plane. \n\nThis is joint work with Nishant Chandgotia\, Jan Gr
 ebík\, and Filip Kučerák.
