The paper, shared work between Tecnalia and the Computer Vision Center/Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, makes use of synthetic blurring to show how we can use self-supervised and weakly supervised learning techniques to train a Convolutional Neural Net on the task of segmenting the defocus or motion-blurred areas of an image without having access to images annotated under real blur.
Last Tuesday, July 19th 2022, I successfully defended my PhD dissertation at CVC (Barcelona), obtaining an Excellent Cum Laude grade. The thesis is titled “Self-supervised learning for image-to-image translation in the small data regime” and was developed at Computer Vision Center’sLearning And Machine Perception (LAMP) team and Tecnalia, under the supervision of Joost van de Weijer and Estibaliz Garrote. Many thanks to both!
Next Wednesday, October 2nd, I’ll be giving an introductory talk to Deep Learning techniques at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
