The research will be applicable to many types of visual media and online communities. New techniques for concise image description will enhance comummunties' ablilities to effectively browse, sort, search and share historical image archives, scientific image collections, images collected by world-wide survelliance cameras, and so on. An additional impact of the work will be to improve the quality and density of text tags on personal media collections used for social interaction, thereby enhancing the access that vision impaired individuals will have to information in such media.The proposed research also provides an opportunity for broader societal outreach at an unprecedented scale. This is because it involves a direct interaction with a large group of public users. By using our piliot systems, the public will knowingly contribute to research funded by NSF. They will be further involved as our interfaces are used to keep them informed of progress in related research areas. As a result, the project will promote learning and discovery in a very diverse population, including groups that are often underrepresented in science and engineering. The impacts of the proposed activity will be enhanced by an educational program that is tightly coupled with the planned research. The researchers seek to provide a generation of students with foundational knowledge in computer vision and human-computer interaction coupled with an awareness of how it can be applied to benefit society.

n the past quarter we have continued our effort investigating probabilistic models of appearance and on domain adaptation. Our approach to pose-invariant recognition uses 2D geometric normalization, for improved category-level visual recognition. Our exploration of deep models was not immediately successful, so we have focused on deformable-part based approaches, which have been producing significant results. We continue to improve this class of models to perform detection as well as classification. We continue to explore how these recognition methods perform on available large scale image datasets, while utilizing novel forms of visual domain adaptation. We have developed recently an efficient optimization for large scale domain adaptation.
