Research Interests
I am interested in visual learning, especially inducing properties of the environment, i.e. what are relevant features? what is an appropriate model of reasoning for a visual task? Typically this involves bringing many sources of information to bear on a problem and using them in a unified fashion.
More details may be found in my research projects or publications
Job Search
After finishing my thesis this spring, I will be beginning as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Grinnell College.
Happenings
- Paper "A Discriminative Semi-Markov Model for Robust Scene Text Recognition" accepted for publication at the International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR) 2008.
- Paper "Efficiently Learning Random Fields for Stereo Vision with Sparse Message Passing" accepted for publication at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2008.
- Gave an invited talk at University of Rochester on probabilistic models for scene text recognition
- Presented talk at NESCAI 2008 on robust scene text recognition [paper], [slides], [poster].
- Defended my dissertation on "Unified Detection and Recognition for Reading Text in Scene Images." Here is the final document, and the seminar slides.
- Presented a talk at ICDAR 2007 on fast lexicon integration for scene text recognition. (Slides here, without animations.)
- Presented a session on "Leading Discussions in Science Labs" at the UMass Center for Teaching's TA orientation. (Slides, which were not actually used due to projector malfunction, are here.)
