Abstract:
In this talk I will present some recent progress in machine perception at Google Research, both on fundamental research problems and on the tech powering several popular Google products. I will give a historical retrospective on some important research problems, a snapshot of some relevant current work and observations about the future. And on the applied side, I will provide some background on how we build systems at Google that interpret, reason about and transform sensory data -- and why this aspect of AI is increasingly critical across so many products.
