I got my PhD from the <a href="http://www.cs.illinois.edu">Computer Science Department</a> of the <a href="http://www.uiuc.edu"> University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</a> under the supervision of <a href="http://luthuli.cs.uiuc.edu/~daf/">David Forsyth</a>. During my PhD I also had the privilege of working closely with <a href="http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/homes/dhoiem/">Derek Hoiem</a>.</p> <p>I am mainly interested in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, the intersection of Natural Language and Vision, and analysing the role of Semantics in Visual Understandings. More specifically, my research interests include:</p> <ul> <li> Object and action recognition <li> Attribute based object representations and cross category generalization </li> <li> Generating richer descriptions for images </li> <li> Aspect issues in human activity and object recognition </li> <li> Knowledge trasnfer, transfer learning and it's applications in computer vision</li> <li> Scene understanding </li> <li> Multitask learning and annotation prediction</li> <li> Sign language recognition </li> <li> Image segmentation</li> </ul> <br/> <br/> <br/> --> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </div> </body> </html>
