"Computational Audiovisual Scene Synthesis: Merging the Physical and Data Worlds" - Talk by Parag K. Mital

How do we represent our ongoing audiovisual perception of the world? What do these representations explain or not explain, and could they ever be modeled by computers? In the last 15 years, I have endeavored to understand these basic questions through numerous studies in psychology (experimental cognition and eye-tracking), neuroscience (EEG and fMRI), computational modeling (Computer Vision, AI, and ML), and arts practices (film, installation artwork, and augmented reality). We are excited to present you the talk by Mr. Parag K Mital on "Computational Audiovisual Scene Synthesis: Merging the Physical and Data Worlds" at Dept. of Electrical Engineering, IIT, Bombay. This talk will cover some basic strides towards this understanding, describe his interdisciplinary approach, and conclude with his most recent investigation within Mogees, Hypersurfaces, Ltd., a company focusing on how to merge the data and physical worlds through AI models of vibration.
