I gave a talk at the JADE (UK Supercomputing Facility) 2023 event. We discussed why egocentric vision is important, and the computational requirements of egocentric datasets and video understanding models.
I gave a talk at Samsung AI Centre Cambridge. We looked at the difficulties of scaling few-shot models to handle long-tail tasks.

I gave a talk at the University of Exeter Computer Science Seminar Series. This included a brief history of image and video datasets, how their properties can cause models to take shortcuts, and some recent solutions.
