CVC events



The Yale Vision Lunch series is an informal colloquium series presenting work related to the areas of machine and biological vision, pattern recognition, robotics, and AI. It meets Fridays at noon, usually either in in Watson Hall (AKW), Room 500 or in Brady Memorial Lab, Room 331. Anyone is welcome to join up. For additional information, please contact Drew McDermott.
