Great news! I received the First Place Award for the Best Doctoral Thesis (Ph.D. category) in the Workshop of Theses and Dissertations at the 37th Conference on Graphics, Patterns and Images (SIBGRAPI 2024), the largest national conference on Computer Vision in Brazil.
The awarded thesis, titled “Text-driven Video Acceleration”, presents a methodology based on reinforcement learning to accelerate instructional videos using text.
