Research Overview
My research is in the areas of Machine Learning and Computer Vision. I am particularly interested in applying Deep Learning methods to object recognition. I also work on low-level vision problems, with applications to computational photography and astronomy.
International Conference on Learning Representations 2013
I am one of the Program Chairs for a new conference on feature learning and representation learning. Check out the website.
