讲座摘要：

The advancement of computer architecture and chip design has set the stage for the deep learning revolution by supplying enormous computational power. In general, deep learning is built upon neural networks that can be regarded as a universal approximator of any mathematical function. In contrast to model-based machine learning where the representative features are designed by human engineers, deep learning enables the automatic discovery of desirable feature representations based on a data-driven manner. In this talk, my recent researches for visual content processing and analysis based on deep learning are introduced that involve the fields of image dehazing, video super-resolution, and image manipulation detection and localization, each with broad application prospects.
