Speaker: Dr. Sam Kavusi (Verily) Title: Addressing the long tail of Diabetic Retinopathy screening with on-device intelligence Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Diabetic retinopathy screening faces major challenges in terms of cost and accessibility, particularly for smaller and medium-sized practices serving large patient populations in need. Existing screening methods […]

Speaker: Professor Hany Farid (University of California at Berkeley) Title: Creating, (Mis)using, and Detecting Deepfakes Video: Click here to view Abstract: Generative AI – so-called deepfakes – have captured the imagination of some and struck fear in others. These stunningly realistic images, audio, and videos are the product of AI-powered synthesis tools. Although just the […]

Speaker: Dr. Zhenyi Liu (Stanford) Title: Physically Accurate Image Systems Simulation: High Dynamic Range Nighttime Scenes Video: Click here to play Abstract:  The analysis of nighttime driving images presents challenges distinct from those encountered with daytime images. Nighttime images often contain large regions of low intensity, punctuated by very bright light sources, such as car […]
