报告内容：The problem of face alignment or facial landmarks localisation has been intensively studied in recent years given its wide applications such as face recognition, affective computing and facial animation. A large number of novel methods have been proposed and reported very good performance. In this talk, I will present my work on evaluating face alignment from two different aspects, namely mirrorability and sensitivity. Mirrorabilty is defined as the ability of an algorithm to give on a mirror image bilaterally symmetric results. I will show its property and how it can be used in evaluating and improving cascaded face alignment performance. In terms of sensitivity, I will present my empirical study on how recent face alignment methods perform under the circumstance of initialisation (face detection) changes.

Panel简介：
你是否还在为读博士的目的而迷茫？你是否还在为博士毕业的出路而困惑？你是否还在犹豫未来是进入高校从事教职，还是加盟企业做研发，或是漂洋过海做PostDoc，乃至奋不顾身去创业？你在思考这些问题的时候，是否也期望聆听一下前辈们（特别是这几年的过来人）的肺腑之言与经验分享？ 10月14日，VALSE Webinar将举行一期“后博士时代 ”的专题Panel。本Panel邀请了博士毕业后投身高校、工业界、创业、出国做博士后等不同选择的多位前辈老师，现身说法，互动问答，剖析利弊，恳谈感想。Panel活动时间大约为1个小时，包括嘉宾畅谈博士去向与选择原因环节，以及和主持人与群友的互动讨论环节。 |
