- Graduated Students: Xu Ji, Mandela Patrick, Shu Ishida, Andreea Oncescu
Research Trends from his recent work include advances in 3D scene reconstruction (e.g., Flash3D, GST), robotic adaptation (Rapid Motor Adaptation), and multimodal learning (Text2Loc, SCENES). His publications frequently address theoretical guarantees in unsupervised detection and reinforcement learning for POMDP environments.
Scientific Recognition includes:
- Research Fellow, Royal Academy of Engineering
- CVPR Best Paper Finalist (2012) for Kernelized Correlation Filters (KCF)
- SIGBOVIK 2020 Most Timely Paper Award for Deep Industrial Espionage
He also develops open-source tools like OverBoard, a Python dashboard for deep learning experiment monitoring, and advocates for preregistration workshops to improve machine learning research transparency.
