| Research Interests | My general interests are in the areas of computer vision, pattern recognition, and machine learning. In particular, I aim to develop probabilistic models of images that can be applied to computer vision problems, such as image annotation, image retrieval, scene classification, object detection and localization, image segmentation etc. | |
