The 10th Israel Machine Vision Conference (IMVC) took place on March 18, 2019 at Pavilion 10, EXPO Tel Aviv.
Dr. Aya Soffer spoke at a conference on “Video Comprehension and the Challenges it Poses”.

Abstract:
As video becomes the most popular form of communication and information sharing, automatic video comprehension is becoming a key requirement in many use cases. Fully understanding video poses many challenges, that are being addressed by a variety of AI techniques. In this talk, I will describe some of these challenges and present several ongoing projects in IBM Research AI in the space of Video Comprehension. These include segmentation of video into semantic scenes, recognizing objects and human actions and activities, identifying highlights in videos, few shot learning for object recognition. I will also present the Moments in Time public data set created by IBM Research AI, with its millions of video clips, to support the research and development of state of the art AI algorithms for the comprehension of subtle actions and activities in videos.
