内容：
We live in a digital world where many things, such as images, language, sound, products and social networks, have been digitized. Although mathematics provides us with sophisticated tools to deal with numbers, we often face the gap between the overestimated power of math tools and the underestimated complexity of this world.
As a lover of both mathematics and visual art, I was attracted to modeling the visual world when I was an undergraduate student in Tsinghua. Although this visual world seems to be infinitely complex, can we find basic principles and compact representations to bridge math and the real world in harmony? I will share with you some principles that I deeply believe in, especially sparsity manifested via decomposition and dense correspondences. I will show how these principles can be used to advance a number of topics in motion estimation, video editing & enhancement, geometry reconstruction, object recognition, semantic image segmentation, scene parsing, and image search.
