Join this talk by Babak Taati from the University of Toronto today at 10:00 to 11:00 in room 5A60.
 
The subject will be the crucial role technology plays in supporting the well-being of older adults, particularly those with physical or cognitive impairments.

This talk explores computer vision-based systems designed to enhance care.
 
A key challenge in developing these systems is the limited availability of pathological data which is often costly and difficult to collect.

To address this he introduces a generative AI approach for creating synthetic pathological data, augmenting real datasets to improve model performance and reliability.
