Computer Vision for Education and Social Science Research

Computer vision -- the study of how to design artificial systems that can perform high-level tasks related to image or video data (e.g. recognizing and locating objects in images and behaviors in videos) -- has seen recent dramatic success. In this course, we seek to give education and social science researchers the know-how needed to apply cutting edge computer vision algorithms in their work as well as an opportunity to workshop applications. Prerequisite: python familiarity and some experience with data.
