23rd November, Fall meeting 2023: Anomaly Detection
On Thursday 23rd of November 2023 we hope to see you all again in Amsterdam for an afternoon around Anomaly Detection.
Anomaly detection (also referred to as outlier detection) is the identification of rare observations in data that deviate significantly from normal. It finds applications in many areas, such as cyber security, medicine, machine vision, statistics, and neuroscience. Machine learning techniques play an increasing role in anomaly detection (supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised). For the coming NVPHBV Fall Meeting, we invite you to submit abstracts on your research in the field of anomaly detection (in a broad sense).
In another inspiring afternoon, we are going to explore these important questions with three invited keynote speakers:
- Estefanía Talavera (University of Twente)
- Samet Akcay (Intel Corporation)
- Eric Nalisnick (University of Amsterdam)
And we will have a series of short research presentations again.
You are invited to submit your abstract (max. 1 A4 plus 1 or 2 illustrations) for a short oral or posterpresentation. Please submit your abstract as PDF to secretary@nvphbv.nl before Nov. 10th. You will receive a notice of acceptance before Nov. 16th. Topics include, but are not limited to: The field of anomaly detection (in a broad sense).
By doing so you might win the best-abstract award of €200. Furthermore this is the seond time the abstracts for a NVPHBV meeting will be published in online proceedings.
As always there will be ample time to connect with all attendees from industry and academia.

Dr. Samet AkcayAI research engineer and a tech lead, Intel AI, London
Samet Akcay, an AI research engineer and a tech lead, specializes in semi/self-supervised, zero/few-shot anomaly detection, and multi-modality. He is recently known for his open-source contributions to the ML/DL community. He is the lead author of anomalib, a major open-source anomaly detection library. He also maintains the OpenVINO Training Extensions, a low-code transfer learning framework for building computer vision models.
Samet received his Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science, Durham University, UK, and his MSc from the Department of Electrical Engineering, Penn State University, US. His research has been published at top-tier computer vision and machine learning conferences and journals.

Dr. Estefania Talavera
Estefania Talavera is an Assistant Professor in the Data Management and Biometrics group at the University of Twente. Her research interests include computer vision, machine learning, and their intersection for human behaviour understanding. Prior to joining the University of Twente, she was a lecturer and researcher in the Information Systems group at the University of Groningen. She received her PhD in Computer Science in 2020 from the University of Barcelona and the University of Groningen, under the supervision of Prof. Petia Radeva and Prof. Nicolai Petkov.
