For graduate students who haven't met with speakers before, here are a few tips for a more effective meeting: 1) Spend at least 5-10 minutes beforehand looking into the speaker's research and allow time for a closer look at any of their work that is of particular
interest or relevance to you. 2) Think in advance of at least one question to ask them (e.g., on their research or on career advice). 3) Be ready with a <1-minute explanation of your own research in case you are asked.<br class="ContentPasted1">

Talk Title: Understanding, Predicting, and Manipulating Image Memorability with Representation Learning</div>

Abstract: Everyday, we are bombarded with hundreds of images on our smart phone, on television, or in print. Recent work shows that images differ in their memorability, some stick in our mind while others are fade away quickly, and this phenomenon is consistent
across people. While it has been shown that memorability is an intrinsic feature of an image, still it’s largely unknown what features make images memorable. In this talk, I will present a series of our studies which aim to address this question by proposing
a fast representation learning approach to modify and control the memorability of images. The proposed method can be employed in photograph editing applications for social media, learning aids, or advertisement purposes.<br>
