若手研究者海外派遣頭脳循環プログラム・報告講演 (Reports of Brain Circulation Program)

講演者(Presenter)：	中島悠太(Yuta NAKASHIMA), 大阪大学データビリティフロンティア機構（Institute for Datability Science, Osaka University）
題目(Title)：	Report on my visit to Carnegie Mellon University
概要(Abstract)：	Firstly I will briefly introduce CMU and Pittsburgh, where I have been stayed from April 2015 to March 2016. I also talk about what I learned and did there, especially about my research work on visual question answering. Visual question answering is a new task in both computer vision and natural language processing, which tries to answer to a question on an image. We built a new neural net-based model with predicting where to attend in the image to answer a question.

題目(Title)：	Activity report at University of Oulu, Finland: Learning joint representations of videos and sentences with web image search
概要(Abstract)：	This report presents research work at Machine Vision Group, University of Oulu, Finland. During my stay, I worked for video retrieval based on natural language queries. Recent work has addressed the problem by embedding visual and textual inputs into a common space where semantic similarities correlate to distances. We propose an embedding approach for sentence and video inputs that combines the advantages of the metadata-based web image search and deep neural network-based representation learning. Overall, we observe an improvement over the state-of-the-art methods in the video and sentence retrieval tasks.

題目(Title)：	Twinkle Megane project and activities in University of Oulu, Finland
概要(Abstract)：	I report my research work and activities in University of Oulu, Finland. In the research project, I worked on the development of Twinkle Megane: Glasses attached with Near-eye LED indicators to support the senior citizen's life. In addition, I report other life activities in University of Oulu
