This tutorial aims at promoting discussions among researchers investigating innovative second-order (bilinear), kernel and tensor-based approaches to computer vision problems. Specifically, we will stimulate discussions on recent advances, ongoing developments, and novel applications of bilinear, kernel and multilinear algebra, optimization, and feature representations using matrices and tensors in the context of CNN learning.

TOPICS

We have addressed a wide range of theoretical and practical issues including, but not limited to the following topics:
