Title: Neuroscience-informed sound, music, and wearable computing for rehabilitation and learning

Abstract

The use of music as an aid in improving body and mind has received enormous attention over the last 20 years from a wide range of disciplines, including neuroscience, physical therapy, exercise science, and psychological medicine. We have attempted to transform insights gained from the scientific study of music, learning, and medicine into real-life applications that can be delivered widely, effectively, and accurately. We have been using music to enhance learning as well as to augment evidence-based medicine. In this talk, I will describe tools to facilitate the delivery of established music-enhanced therapies, harnessing the synergy of sound and music computing (SMC), mobile computing, and cloud computing technologies to promote learning and to facilitate disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in both developed countries and resource-poor developing countries. These tools are being developed as part of ongoing research projects that combine wearable sensors, smartphone apps, and cloud-based therapy delivery systems to facilitate music-enhanced learning and music-enhanced physical therapy. I will also discuss the joys and pains working in such a multidisciplinary environment.

Title: Scene Text Detection/Recognition: Recent Advances and Our Solutions

Abstract

Text information appearing in a scene carries vital information for interpreting the contents, and identifying objects and surrounding environment in images. Although conventional document analysis techniques have bee quite successful, identifying general text in images remains a very challenging research problem. The recent prestigious conferences on computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning have seen an increased interest on this topic from the computer vision research community. In this talk, I will show you the challenges and the recent advances in research on scene text recognition and our solutions and attempts.

Biography

Dr. Wenjing Jia is currently a Lecturer at the School of Computing and Communications at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) teaching various under- and postgraduate internetworking subjects. She is also a core research member of UTS Global Big Data Technologies Centre. Her research interests include image processing/analysis and object detection and recognition. In particular, she has been working in the field of text information extraction for several years. This has included working on applications such as vehicle identification via recognizing their license plates, textual information retrieval from images on web pages and emails, and text sign recognition from natural scene images. She has had over 70 publications in journals such as TIP and conferences such as ICIP and ICPR. A focus of more recent work has been to explore deep features and deep learning architectures for detecting and recognising scene text or text signage from unconstrained, outdoor street level imagery. Prior to UTS, Wenjing worked at Fuzhou University from 1999 to 2003 as an Associate Lecturer teaching various subjects in communications and information systems and conducting research on medical image analysis.
