VLPR 2009: A Unique Opportunity for Scientific and Cultural Exchange


The 1st VLPR Summer School brings together leading American and Chinese researchers and students in computer vision, machine learning, and pattern recognition. Set in Beijing, China, the summer school offers a unique opportunity for scientific and cultural exchange.

The right time for scientific exchange: vision and learning

Both vision and machine learning have seen tremendous progress over the last few years. Increasingly, researchers in both fields are turning their attention to problems that blur the line between the two.
