Department of Electronic Engineering opened the first Deep Learning elective course in 2016-17

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is a world leader at the field of Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. The CUImage team, CUVideo team, and SenseCUSceneParsing team led by Prof. OUYANG Wanli, Prof. LI Hongsheng and Prof. WANG Xiaogang won the Championship of three challenges in the recent ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC) 2016 with their developed deep learning technologies: 1) object detection; 2) object detection/tracking from video; and 3) scene parsing.

ILSVRC is one of the most important challenges in the computer vision field. In 2014, the noble DeepID Human-Faces Recognition System proposed by the lab became the best recognition system in the world with a recognition rate of 99.15%. For details, please visit the CUHK website.

In the coming 2016-17 semester, the Department of Electronic Engineering will offer the first Deep Learning elective course in Hong Kong for undergraduate and postgraduate students. To learn more the details of the course, please click here.
