SUMMARY:Keynote: Computational Optimal Transport: From Low to High Dimension and Back
LOCATION:Room 210 / Aula\, Hochschulstrasse 4\, 3012 Bern
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Justin Solomon\n\nThe *optimal transport* problem asks a simple geometric question:  What is the most efficient way to transform one probability distribution into another along a piece of geometry?  Beyond its mathematical interest\, optimal transport underlies a variety of applications\, from supply chains to mesh processing\, statistics\, and even generative AI.  Over the past two decades\, research in geometry processing has played a central role in shaping algorithms for optimal transport\, with foundational advances emerging from the SGP community.  At the same time\, popular problems in applied optimal transport have shifted from low-dimensional settings in graphics and imaging to high-dimensional settings in machine learning.\n\nIn this retrospective keynote\, I will trace how my team's work in computational optimal transport was shaped by studying its applications to geometry processing---even as the landscape of research in this area shifted in dimensionality and application.  Ultimately\, this journey illustrates the broader value of "Geometric Data Processing" as a discipline: identifying shared geometric and variational principles across domains that differ dramatically in dimension\, scale\, and data fidelity.\n

SUMMARY:Keynote: Geometric not-so-deep learning
LOCATION:Room 210 / Aula\, Hochschulstrasse 4\, 3012 Bern
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Julie Digne\n\nOver the past decade\, deep learning for geometric data processing has advanced significantly\, with numerous methods proposed to handle irregular\, non-Euclidean data. However\, 3D objects databases are scarce and only partially cover the variety of shapes practitioners want to analyze. As a consequence many shapes fall out-of-distribution. \nHowever\, many tasks\, such as compression\, denoising or resampling\, can already benefit from leveraging statistical geometric features\, without requiring shape space priors.\nIn this talk\, I will focus on lightweight methods that are computationally efficient\, run on standard hardware by operating directly on individual shapes. Through a series of projects\, I will show how modern optimization techniques\, with or without neural networks\, can address geometric challenges effectively\, without relying on large datasets or heavy computational resources.\n

SUMMARY:Keynote: Resource-Efficient Visual Computing – Frontiers and Applications of Real-Time Visual AI
LOCATION:Room 210 / Aula\, Hochschulstrasse 4\, 3012 Bern
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Bernhard Kerbl\n\nModern visual computing is transforming the means and ways by which we map\, understand and interact with the physical world. 3D and 4D reconstructions of real artefacts are now viable from just a handful of casual camera observations\; object recognition and classification can be done with unprecedented accuracy and reliability. However\, a key requirement for the overall usefulness of these methods is their efficiency: Efficiency dictates whether a solution can run in real-time\; it governs the hardware requirements for execution\, and wether it can be used without requiring massive\, industry-grade infrastructure. Real-time performance enables crucial emerging trends\, such as robots interacting with the real world\, or visual AI providing on-line assistance in medical treatments on patients. Resource-efficiency\, on the other hand\, ensures that these breakthrough technologies can be employed by almost anyone. In this talk\, Dr. Kerbl will discuss key challenges and opportunities of real-time\, resource-efficient visual computing and AI\, focusing on open tasks in fundamental research and applied fields\, including biomedicine and robotics.\n
