Introduction

The Harvest Imaging forum tradition continues, a next and tenth one will be organized on November 7 & 8, 2024, in Delft, the Netherlands. The basic intention of the Harvest Imaging forum is to have a scientific and technical in-depth discussion on one particular topic that is of great importance and value to digital imaging. The forum 2024 will be an in-person event.

The 2024 Harvest Imaging forum will deal with a single topic from the field of solid-state imaging world and will have only one world-level expert as the speaker :

"AI and VISION : A shallow dive into deep learning"
Prof. dr. Jan van Gemert (Delft Univ. of Technology, Nl)

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence is taking the world by storm ! The AI engine is powered by “Deep Learning”. Deep learning differs from normal computer programming in that it allows computers to learn tasks from large, labelled, datasets. In this Harvest Imaging Forum we will go through all fundamentals of Deep Learning: Multi-layer perceptrons, Back-propagation, Optimization, Convolutional neural networks, Recurrent neural networks, un-/self-supervised learning and transformers and self-attention (GPT).

Bio:

Jan van Gemert received a PhD degree from the University of Amsterdam in 2010. There he was a post-doctoral fellow as well as at École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Currently he leads the Computer Vision lab at Delft University of Technology. He teaches the Deep learning and Computer Vision MSc courses. His research focuses on visual inductive priors for deep learning for automatic image and video understanding. He published over 100 peer-reviewed papers with more than 7,500 citations.
