I am interested in advancing the understanding of how we can explore, make sense of, and interact with data. I contribute to this endeavor by exploiting and developing new techniques in machine learning, computer vision, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction.
My current research projects focus on algorithmic aspects of machine learning, especially in the context of neural networks, semi-supervised learning, active learning, multi-task learning, and transfer learning and on capturing, processing, mining, and visualizing image and video data.
