Month: December 2018

We had a good representation of CVC people at this year’s NeurIPS which took place on the first week of December in Montreal. The articles presented were the following:

‘Memory Replay GANs: learning to generate images from new categories without forgetting‘, by authors Chenshen Wu, Luis Herranz, Xialei Liu, Yaxing Wang, Dr. Joost van de Weijer and Dr. Bogdan Raducanu (all from CVC);

‘Image-to-image translation for cross-domain disentanglement‘, by authors Dr. Abel González, Dr. Joost van de Weijer and Dr. Yoshua Bengio;

‘TADAM: Task dependent adaptive metric for improved few-shot learning‘, by authors Boris N. Oreshkin, Pau Rodriguez (CVC member) and Dr. Alexandre Lacoste

At the Metalearning Workshop:

Cross-Modulation Networks for Few-Shot Learning, by authors Hugo Prol (CVC master student), Vicent Dumoulin and Luis Herranz.

Dr. Antonio Lopez took part of the First Forum on Autonomous Vehicles, organized by the Association of Industrial Engineers of Catalonia, that was held the 27^th of November at Barcelona.

The event was celebrated in order to reflect on the changes that may arise from the implementation of the autonomous vehicle. In this first edition, called “between myth and reality”, it was discussed the issue of the autonomous car not only from the technological current but also from other areas such as Law, Sociology or Philosophy.

Dr. Antonio López was an invited speaker of the technological part, in which he talked about Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Driving and presented his current research and recent projects such as Carla or Synthia.
