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 always 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
specifically in your statement of purpose.
