SUnS 08 The Third Scene Understanding Symposium was held on February 1, 2008 at MIT.

VSS 2007 Symposium: Natural Scene Understanding: Statistics, Recognition and Representation. Co-chairs: Li Fei-Fei & Aude Oliva. Speakers: Simon Thorpe, Bruno Olshausen, Irving Biederman, Russell Epstein, Aude Oliva, Li Fei-Fei

Natural scene understanding is one of the most challenging problems in today's vision sciences. Tremendous progress has been made recently toward characterizing formal and neural underpinning of natural image analysis. The symposium offers a modern and multidisciplinary view on scene understanding by bringing together six speakers from the fields of computational neuroscience, neurophysiology, cognitive science ann computer vision. The presentation is highlight the recent advances in the study of natural scene perception, as well as present a unique opportunity to create new directions for this promising field

SUnS 07 The Second Scene Understanding Symposium was held February 1st and 2nd, 2007 at MIT. The symposium featured ~20 speakers from various fields including; visual cognition, computational vision, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience & neurophysiology. Organizers: Aude Oliva, Thomas Serre, Antonio Torralba
