This week we are joined by Naila Murray. Naila obtained a B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 2007. In 2012, she received her PhD from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, in affiliation with the Computer Vision Center. She joined NAVER LABS Europe (then Xerox Research Centre Europe) in January 2013, working on topics including fine-grained visual categorization, image retrieval, and visual attention. From 2015 to 2019 she led the computer vision team at NLE. She currently serves as NLE's director of science. She serves/served as area chair for ICLR 2018, ICCV 2019, ICLR 2019, CVPR 2020, ECCV 2020, and programme chair for ICLR 2021. Her research interests include representation learning and multi-modal search.

We discuss using sparse pairwise comparisons to learn a ranking function that is robust to outliers. We also take a look at using generative models in order to utilise once inaccessible datasets.
