Objectives

This is a graduate level course to cover core concepts and algorithms of geometry that are being used in computer vision and machine learning. This course is a combination of instructor lecturing (half of the classes) and student presentation (the other half of the classes). For the instructor lecturing part, I will cover key concepts of differential geometry, the usage of geometry in computer graphics, vision, and machine learning, in particular, deep learning. For the student presentation part, I will advise students to read and present state-of-the-art algorithms for taking the geometric view to analyze data and the advanced tools to understand geometric data. Students are required to do a course project in pairs.

Prerequisites

Background assumed includes basic material in linear algebra, optimization, machine learning, and graphical models.
