CVPR Daily - Tuesday

Tuesday 5 For those people, I highly encourage them to consider the tutorials. Those tutorials cut across everything in computer vision. Look at the interesting papers in the papers programme too. In the workshops, look for the keynote speakers and the various papers that they can go and see. The expo has been growing and growing over the years. Does this mean that industry is becoming a more important part of CVPR? Yes, industry is becoming an important part of CVPR. Partly because this is the industry that wants to hire our students and our professors. It shows that our talents and our skill sets are in demand. Most trade shows that you go to, companies show off what they do so that you buy their products. I think CVPR is unique as a lot of these companies are hiring. They are actually here to find talent. It’s very exciting, especially for students, grad students, and people looking to change their career paths. This is a really great place to be right now. It feels like the balance between academia and industry in CVPR is becoming more balanced over the years. It is becoming more balanced. I think the other thing we’re seeing is the research coming out of the labs is very high quality. A lot of great research is coming from the industry, in addition to academics. Finally, is there anything you’d like to say about the organisation of the event? Yes, it’s been absolutely fantastic. My co-chairs Shmuel Peleg and Bryan Morse, and of course, Nicole and Liz from CtoC Events, they’ve been fantastic in helping us to run this event and staying with us to help grow it. Something that a lot of people don’t know is that Nicole’s been with us for many years and many of the innovations that you see are really because of Nicole. We are also using Hall-Erickson to help us expand the expo and to manage all of the companies that are coming in.
