Speech title: Human Behavior Sensing and Understanding for Digital Society


Abstract: On the road to digital transformation (DX), the current technology trends and challenges are changing dynamically according to the changes of people and the society. For example, due to the global pandemic, COVID-19 spread, the human beings start converting to new lifestyle for security and safety, and new society style for sustainability from our daily life.
Towards the abovementioned changes, Dr. Liu will introduce the industrial level framework in this talk regarding how NEC is trying to sense and understand the human behavior in camera videos for the realization of digital society. This talk will mainly demonstrates a series of selected research achievements that contributed to both of the academia and industry. A series of our work published at MM'14, SIGGRAPH'16, MM'16, MM'17, ICMR'18, MIPR'19, CBMI'19, BigMM'19, MM'19, WACV'20, MM'20, and MM'21, will be highlighted with interesting insights, which are related to video analysis for human behavior sensing and understanding. Finally, Dr. Liu will pick up and share some challenging issues and future directions towards the realization of digital society in the near future.
