Biography

Farzaneh received her BSc in Electrical Engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology in 2016. She completed her thesis-based MSc in Computer Engineering at the University of Denver in 2018. Her thesis was focused on studying facial expression recognition and imitation ability of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in interaction with a social robot. She started her Ph.D. studies in Electrical Engineering at the McGill University in January 2019. Her research is focused on multi-modal penalty determination in hockey broadcast.

Seby is from Kerala, India. He completed is B.Eng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Goa. He followed this up by gaining experience in chip design and software engineering from Broadcom Corporation and Cisco Systems respectively. Subsequently, he finished his masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering from McGill University in 2019 in Automated Surveillance using Deep Learning. Seby is currently interested in the following fields of research: (i) Player detection and Tracking in Hockey; (ii) Multimodal Face-off summarization in Hockey; and (iii) Anomaly detection in Videos using Deep-Learning.

Zahra is a PhD student at the Centre for Intelligent Machines (CIM) at McGill University. She has previously obtained her MSc and BSc degrees in Computer Science from Simon Fraser University and Amirkabir University, respectively. As part of her master's research, she investigated a logic-based paradigm to AI for anomaly detection. Prior to her PhD, she has spent a few years on developing software and machine learning algorithms for the gaming and telecom industries. Her current area of research is the multimodal analysis of videos using techniques from computer vision and NLP. She is interested in developing representation schemes for videos such that it facilitates recognition of actions and events in realistic settings.
