HVEI Banquet
The First HVEI Banquet was organized in 1998 in celebration of
the tenth anniversary of the conference. Since that time, the
Annual HVEI Banquet has become a tradition of the conference.
It is held during the first day of the conference, and provides an
opportunity to reminisce, cogitate, and speculate with
colleagues in this exciting multidisciplinary field.
We invite you to join us for this year's banquet:
-
21st Annual Human Vision and Electronic Imaging Banquet
Monday 29 January 2018, 7:00 - 10:00 pm
Tannourine Restaurant, 120 W 25th Ave., San Mateo, CA
Bernice Rogowitz and Thrasos Pappas - Celebrating 30 Years of HVEI
Join us for a celebration of 30 years of HVEI, as we roast
and toast the people and events that have shaped this
unique, multidisciplinary community. Bernice and Thrasos - who
have been conference co-chairs for 30 and 20 years,
respectively - will share photos, stories, and artifacts with
attendees. All are welcome to join the presentation by
sharing their experiences and memories! We will also have a
presentation of interesting visual effects from some members
of our community. This year we will be dining at the Middle
Eastern Tannourine restaurant. Meet us in front of the hotel
at 6:30 to arrange car pools and Ubers for the short ride to
the restaurant. The cocktail hour will include interesting
visual and artistic demonstrations, followed by plentiful
hot and cold mezze (appetizers), salad, grilled entrees,
dessert, beer, wine, and coffee - all served family
style. This year, we are able to offer all this for
$55/person, thanks to a generous subsidy from our sponsor
Qualcomm. This banquet is hosted by the Conference on Human
Vision and Electronic Imaging, but is open to everyone
interested in the intersection of human vision/cognition,
imaging technology, and art.

20th Annual Human Vision and Electronic Imaging Banquet (2017):
Deep Learning for Gestalt and Gestalt for Deep Learning
Stella Yu,
International Computer Science Institute, U.C. Berkeley
Deep learning has delivered unprecedented success in human
vision and computer vision research. The ImageNet
classification task which popularized deep learning deals with
semantic classification as a simple image-in-label-out
supervised learning problem. It essentially asks the same
question -- "Does this pattern look like what I have seen
during training?" -- a thousand times. Such a brute-force
approach is in a stark contrast to Gestalt psychologists' view
of visual perception -- there vision is an emergent property
from the inter-relations of visual elements in the scene, but
the challenge is what defines visual elements and what are
their inter-relations. The distinction between the popular
deep learning and the traditional Gestalt approaches boils
down to: Do we see a tiger in the scene by going over every
object we know of, or by seeing similar (tiger) stripes
popping out from the background even if we have no name for
what it is? I will discuss our works that use deep learning
to make Gestalt modeling more practical, and use Gestalt
organization to make deep learning more powerful.

19th Annual Human Vision and Electronic Imaging Banquet (2016):
Bach to the Blues: Color, Music, Emotion, and Synesthesia
Stephen E. Palmer,
Psychology and Cognitive Science, U.C. Berkeley
This talk explores perceptual and emotional associations
between color and music, with a special look at syntesthetes,
people who have atypical sensory experiences, such as seeing
colors when a number or music is presented. Using a wide range
of different musical genres from Classical to Heavy Metal to
Salsa to Country Western, we found clear systematic patterns,
independent of cultural upbringing. For example, faster music
in the major mode was strongly associated with more saturated,
lighter, yellower colors, and slower music in the minor mode
with darker, grayer, bluer colors. Further results strongly
suggest that these music-to-color associations are mediated by
emotion. For example, happy/sad ratings of the classical music
were highly correlated with the happy/sad ratings of the
colors chosen as going best with the music. By contrast, the
synesthetes chose colors that were most similar to the colors
they actually experienced while listening to the same musical
selections. Synesthetes showed clear evidence of emotional
effects for some musical variables (e.g., major versus minor)
but not for others (e.g., slow versus fast tempi). I will
speculate on possible implications of our results for the
nature of synesthesia and its neural mechanisms.

18th Annual Human Vision and Electronic Imaging Banquet (2015):
The Science of Learning: Insights from Minerva on What We Teach, and How We Can Use Technology to Help
Stephen M. Kosslyn,
Minerva Schools at
the Keck Graduate Institute
Minerva is a new approach to higher education, which rests in
part on research in psychology, neuroscience, and technology.
The goal is to build a new curriculum that fosters critical
thinking, creative thinking, and effective communication. New
computer methodologies have been developed that allow the
students to interact with their professors remotely in real
time, to enable "fully-active" learning. After the first
year, the concept of distributed learning is taken to a new
level-- students live in various cities around the world, and
each city's resources are integrated into the curriculum.
Minerva is a test-bed for designing new empirically based,
technology-mediated technologies, which will improve the way
we foster the creativity of the next generation's world
thinkers.
