MLDublin Meets FirstData at Dogpatch Labs

Location: The Vaults, Dogpatch Labs, CHQ Building, Custom House Quay, Dublin

Date: 25 Sep

This month’s Machine Learning Dublin Meetup, taking place in Dogpatch Labs on September 25th, will be sponsored by First Data.

AGENDA:

[18:00 – 18:30] Registration, Networking

[18:30 – 18:45] Welcome message

[18:45 – 19:05] Christopher Mascaro | VP, Head of Threat Intelligence & Analytics, First Data

Christopher will present what First Data do and share an insight in to what is done with Machine Learning within the company.

[19:05 – 19:25] Vladimir Krylov | Research Fellow, ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin

Object Detection on Street View Images: from Panoramas to Geotags

Many applications such as autonomous navigation, urban planning and asset monitoring, rely on the availability of accurate information about objects and their geolocations. In our talk we propose to automatically detect and compute the GPS coordinates of recurring stationary objects of interest using street view imagery (Google Street View, Bing Streetside, Mapillary, etc.). The designed computer vision pipeline relies on fully convolutional neural networks to detect objects and a triangulation-based Markov Random Field model to geotag objects. The experiments report GPS accuracies within 2 meters, which is comparable with the precision of single-frequency GPS receivers.

[19:25 – 19:45]  Andrew Brock | PhD Candidate, Edinburgh Centre for Robotics

Andrew is a PhD student with the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics working in the area of computer vision. Talk description to be annoucned.

[19:45 – 21:00] : Networking
