Bio I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin, where I lead the UT-Austin Computer Vision Group. I received my Ph.D. from MIT in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in 2006. Our Synthesis Lecture on Visual Object Recognition is here: Visual Object Recognition, Kristen Grauman and Bastian Leibe, Synthesis Lectures on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, April 2011, Vol. 5, No. 2, Pages 1-181.

| Research |
My research interests are in computer vision and
machine learning. In general, the goal of computer
vision is to develop the algorithms and representations
that will allow a computer to autonomously analyze visual
information. I am especially interested in
learning and recognizing visual object categories, and
scalable methods for content-based retrieval and visual
search. Large amounts of interconnected visual data (images, videos) are readily available---but we don’t yet have the tools to easily access and analyze them. My group’s research aims to remove this disparity, and transform how we retrieve and evaluate visual information. This requires robust methods to recognize objects, actions, and scenes, and to automatically organize and search images and videos based on their content. Key research issues that we are exploring are scalable search for meaningful similarity metrics, unsupervised visual discovery, and cooperative learning between machine and human vision systems.

| Note to prospective students | If you are a prospective student interested in
computer vision research at UT-Austin, please read about
our graduate
admissions process. It is not necessary to
contact me. Unfortunately, I am not able to respond
to emails about applications to our graduate
program. If you are applying to the CS department
and are interested in my research group, please state this
in your statement of purpose. I do not have summer internship positions at this time. |
