Our brains make vision seem easy. It doesn't take much effort for humans to tell apart her cousin and nephew, detect a face or recognize who it is. But these are actually hard problems to solve with a computer: they only seem easy because our brains are incredibly good at understanding images. Today, we will discuss the history of models used for such problems, what we've achieved so far and demonstrate combinations of state-of-art machine learning algorithms to tackle these problems and beyond.
