报告摘要：
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become very hot recently, in both the research community and business investment. Visual analytics is one important aspect in developing AI technologies, which has broad applications in video surveillance, business intelligence, next generation robotics, wearable computing, identity management, smart environment, smart healthcare, etc. Although very useful, it is still a great challenge to perform visual analytics accurately and robustly. In this talk, I will present some of my research works on visual data analysis. Some specific topics include human age estimation, demographic classification, body mass index (BMI) estimation from facial appearance, and face matching with various changes.
