Adrian Núñez-Marcos, new doctor in MORElab

On December 18th, 2020, MORElab's member Adrian Núñez-Marcos has been honored with the PhD recognition. His dissertation, entitled "Contributions to Human Action Recognition using Deep Learning: Applications in Egocentric Vision” was advised by Dr. Gorka Azkune and Dr. Diego López de Ipiña

The VIVA panel was formed by:

Basilio Sierra (President, Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea)
Jan Kybic (Czech Technical University in Prague)
Aitor Almeida (Universidad de Deusto)

Assistance to the Deep Learn summer school

Last week (17-21 of July), Bilbao had the pleasure of being host for theInternational Deep Learning Summer School. Five researchers of the group attended this event - Aitor Almeida, Gorka Azkune, Aritz Bilbao, Adrián Núñez and David Buján- and were able to meet with well known researchers in the Deep Learning field such as Li Deng, Michael Mozer and Marc’Aurelio Ranzato.

New predoctoral grants for MORElab members

The past week our two first year predoctoral researchers, Aritz Bilbao and Adrián Núñez, received a predoctoral grant from the Basque Government for three years. This allows them to continue researching in their respective topics:

Aritz is working in Natural Language Processing with Neural Networks under the supervision of Dr. Aitor Almeida. Specifically, he is working in classifying political tweets.
Adrián is also working Neural Networks but applied to Human Activity Recognition with Egocentric Vision Images under the supervision of Dr. Gorka Azkune.

Congratulations to both of them and their directors, and also good luck in their thesis.
