We continue our #CVPR2020 series with Pavan Turaga (@Pturaga1), Associate Professor at Arizona State University, who gave a keynote presentation at the Differential Geometry in CV and ML Workshop, speaking on Revisiting Invariants with Geometry and Deep Learning. twimlai.com/twiml-talk-386…

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat. Two simple demos: First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.

Today, I’m announcing additional actions to contain the spread of #COVID19 in Arizona. 1/

We started studying cloth masks in March. Preprint now at medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Take-home: Cloth masks are not an N95, but they work reasonably well for aerosols 1-2 microns and larger, which is the size that we think mostly mediates transmission. See thread. /1

#ASUgrad Commencement is tomorrow at 9 AM! Congrats to all grads! Some students made an AR ASU Commencement app to watch the events unfold in Augmented Reality (link below). There's a countdown so that it premieres" tomorrow 12/14 at 9 AM MST, (but you can watch after too!)

It's pretty awesome how dancing makes robots less intimidating. Looking forward to seeing more nontrivial Machine Learning on these robots. Credit: Boston Dynamics.

Congrats to SRI_Education's Nonye Alozie and her team's ACTIVITY project for being recognized as a Facilitator's Choice at U.S. National Science Foundation’s 2021 @STEMvideohall. Take a look their video on Understanding Group Interactions in #STEM. stemforall2021.videohall.com/presentations#…

Today, Dean Steven Tepper announced the new director for the School of Arts, Media and Engineering - Pavan Turaga. From us here in AME, congratulations, Pavan! We look forward to where you continue taking us and are excited about how bright our future will be. Arizona State University Herberger Institute
