Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences Webinars – Dr. Jamaladdin Hasanov

Dr. Jamaladdin Hasanov from ADA University will be the guest of KHAS Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences webinar series with his speech “Image captioning using Recurrent NN and attention models” on Tuesday, May 10 at 11.00.

The event will take place on Zoom and is open to anyone interested.

Abstract: When you search “a man riding a horse” or “a girl with a flower on ear” in Google, you get the corresponding images. How is the text connected to the image? Is it possible to understand what is happening on a given image or video fragment? The presentation will share the principles of RNN networks and how we can relate the objects in the image to the context.
