>Abstract:
>Discriminative latent variable models, in particular those involving 
>structured latent

>problems that involve complex structures. In this talk, I will give an

several 
>of our recent work in adapting these models for solving various problems in 
>visual 
>recognition, including part-based models for human action recognition, 
>latent pose 
for 
>still image action recognition, group activity recognition and image 
>annotation. I will 
>also mention applications in other areas(e.g. NLP) that can be addressed by 
>these 
>models. This is joint with Greg Mori, Weilong Yang and Tian Lan at Simon

>Hope to see you all there.
