SUMMARY:Spring 2026 GRASP on Robotics: Ming C. Lin\, University of Maryland\, College Park\, "Learning the Dynamic World "
DESCRIPTION:This event will be in-person ONLY in Wu and Chen Auditorium. \nABSTRACT\nWith increasing availability of data in various forms from images\, audio\, video\, 3D models\, motion capture\, simulation results\, to satellite imagery\, representative samples of the various phenomena constituting the world around us bring new opportunities and research challenges. Such availability of data has led to recent advances in data-driven modeling. However\, most of the existing example-based synthesis methods offer empirical models and data reconstruction that may not provide an insightful understanding of the underlying process in a dynamic world or may be limited to a subset of observations. \nIn this talk\, I present recent advances that integrate classical model-based methods and statistical learning techniques to tackle challenging problems that have not been previously addressed. These include flow reconstruction for urban traffic\, learning heterogeneous crowd behaviors from video\, simultaneous estimation of deformation and elasticity parameters from images and video\, and example-based multimodal display for VR systems. These approaches offer new insights for learning and understanding complex collective behaviors\, developing better models for complex dynamical systems from captured data\, delivering more effective medical diagnosis and treatment\, as well as design and prototyping of personalized apparel. I conclude by discussing some possible future directions and challenges.
