USC Stem Cell Seminar: Gerd Blobel, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and University of Pennsylvania
Tue, Nov 10, 2015 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Alfred E. Mann Department of Biomedical Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Talk Title: Propagating transcriptional patterns through mitosis
Series: Eli and Edythe Broad Center for Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at USC Distinguished Speakers Series
Abstract: During mitosis, the metazoan nucleus is disassembled and transcription ceases globally. Upon mitotic exit, how are transcriptional patterns faithfully re-established to maintain cell identity and differentiation state? I will discuss our work aimed at understanding mechanisms of mitotic "bookmarking" and re-initiation of transcription during G1 entry.

CS Student Colloquium: Chen Sun (USC) - Towards Large-scale Video Understanding
Tue, Nov 10, 2015 @ 04:00 PM - 05:15 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Chen Sun, USC
Talk Title: Towards Large-scale Video Understanding
Series: CS Colloquium
Abstract: This lecture satisfies requirements for CSCI 591: Computer Science Research Colloquium
The ever-increasing popularity of video capturing devices and video sharing websites creates great opportunities for researchers to utilize the rich information encoded by consumer videos. Yet understanding videos on a large scale remains challenging: the video qualities usually vary in resolution, lighting condition and camera movement; spatiotemporal annotation of the videos could be expensive and time-consuming. As videos can be naturally represented by a hierarchy of events, activities and objects, it is essential to build a pool of mid-level concepts for semantic video interpretation. In light of these challenges, my research towards video understanding focuses on utilizing weak video-level annotations effectively, and building a stronger connection between language and vision. In this talk, I will show how Internet images can be used to localize fine-grained actions in videos without using temporal video annotations. I will then describe my approach to connect language and vision via visual concepts, and demonstrate how to automatically discover the visual concepts from parallel text and visual corpora.
Biography: Chen Sun is a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Vision group at University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Ram Nevatia. His research interest includes Computer Vision and Machine Learning, with a focus on large-scale video understanding. Chen got his bachelor degree in Computer Science at Tsinghua University, Beijing. He has collaborated with researchers at Google Research and Facebook AI Research over the summers.
