报告摘要（ABSTRACT）：
In recent years, various vision tasks have been posed as classification problems optimized by end-to-end training using large examples. This deep learning paradigm is what I call “big-data for small-task”. In this talk, I will advocate a different paradigm: “small data for big tasks” i.e. using small examples to generalize to a range of tasks. Our human visual system is driven by a wide range of tasks in daily life, and visual representations, their precision, and computational mechanisms are all task-oriented. The design of objects and scenes are decided by the underlying Functionality and Physics, and human activities in videos are driven by underlying social Intents, Causality and Values. I call these underlying invisible FPICV entities as the “Dark Matter” which controls the visible geometry and appearance. I will show a number of examples and demonstrations.
