DESCRIPTION

The AERFAI Summer School 2010 is organized by the Spanish Association for Pattern Recognition (AERFAI) in collaboration with the Institute of New Imaging Technologies at Universitat Jaume I of Castelló (Spain). This is the fifth edition in a series of AERFAI Summer Schools devoted to a wide range of topics in the fields of Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning. The focus of this year Summer School is to study the most relevant approaches to Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning in Multimedia Systems. This event is open to any researcher or PhD-student who is interested in learning or refreshing their knowledge about the most successful approaches in the fields of object & human-action detection/categorization and recognition.

AERFAISS'2010 is organized as a five-days intensive course to be held June 7-11 in Benicàssim (Spain). Leading experts in the field shall present each tutorial, followed by a practice session with specific software in order for participants to gain a better understanding of the theory. A non-formal poster session will also be organized for the participants to present their current research and interact with their scientific peers.
