Abstract
Deep neural networks have been widely applied to a wide range of computer vision tasks. In this talk, we will first take a brief review on the history and basic concepts of deep learning. Then, starting from the most fundamental problem, image recognition, we will introduce several efforts in increasing the ability of neural networks. Based on powerful models, we can either transfer knowledge to other image applications, or try to understand how these models capture visual concepts at different levels.
