CS5263 Wireless Multimedia Networking Technologies and Applications, Spring 2025

  • Instructor: Cheng-Hsin Hsu (chsu@cs.nthu.edu.tw)
  • Time: Tuesday 1:20~2:10 p.m., Friday 1:20~3:00 p.m.
  • Location: Delta 102
  • Office Hours: Wednesday 10:00 a.m.~12:00 p.m.

This course is divided into two parts. The first half reviews key concepts in networking and multimedia systems, ensuring students are well-prepared for the second half. We will also cover the basics of wireless networks. In the latter part, students will work with a real multimodal dataset to tackle advanced multimedia challenges, such as novel view synthesis, egocentric activity recognition, simultaneous localization and mapping, 3D scene reconstruction, object detection and tracking, audio-visual scene understanding, human-object interaction analysis, gaze estimation, social interaction analysis, and privacy-preserving machine learning in augmented reality. For their term projects, students will apply cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques to address one of these problems, gaining hands-on experience in solving real-world challenges.

The lectures will be given in English. All the exams and reports must be done in English.
