The Computational Geometry Week (CG Week) is the premier international forum for advances in computational geometry and its many applications.
CG Week combines a number of events, most notably the 40th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2024), the associated Media Exposition (CG:ME), workshops, the Young Researchers Forum (CG:YRF), and the CG Challenge (CG:SHOP).
The 2024 edition is planned to take place in Athens, Greece, June Tue. 11 - Fri. 14, 2024.
Abstract: Summary structures can vastly improve storage, communication, and the efficiency of computations. In this talk I plan to overview selected summary structures for graphs and metric datasets.
Abstract: In this talk we survey two lines of work on geometric shape analysis. In the first line we look at deep learning architectures for processing 3D shapes and scenes given as point clouds and examine how to efficiently perform operations such as classification, segmentation, or object detection. A key goal is to guarantee order-independence in how the points are processed by designing networks that are symmetric functions of their inputs. We also examine how such networks can be used to not only to compute but also invent important geometric quantities based on downstream tasks. In the second line we discuss how to compactly encode functions on shapes represented as meshes and use this functional or "wave" machinery to compute maps and correspondences between shapes. When multiple such shapes are given, networks of functional maps can be used to both clean up the maps and to arrive at consistent segmentations and structural decompositions of the shapes, leading to an improved joint understanding of the collection. These two approaches offer complementary insights on shapes and their semantics, leveraging both looking "into" a shape for it structure as well as looking "out" from a shape and relating a shape to its peers.
Child care will be offered during all regular sessions.
If you need child care, please contact the organizers by April the 30th.
CG Week is dedicated to providing an environment that is free from harassment, bullying, discrimination, and retaliation for all participants. CG Week adopts the recommendations of SafeToC to help prevent and combat harassment in the Theory of Computing community reported here. All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers at our conference are required to agree with the CG Week code of conduct.
A person found in violation of these standards can be barred from attendance. This includes violations and sanctions that were established by other academic or professional institutions as the outcome of a formal enquiry.
