I am a PhD student in the Machine Learning group  at the Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto. My research focuses on statistical learning methods and their applications in computer vision. My supervisor is Dr. Rich. Zemel. Before I came to Canada, I graduated from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P. R. China.

Recently, I have moved to CIVS Lab at UCLA. (See my webpage there >>.)

Research Projects

• Image Labeling based on Conditional Random Fields

• Combining image segmentation with region classification;

• Utilizing context information from multiple levels.

• Appearance based Localization

  • Learning prototypical features for localization;

  • Using side information to learn the image manifold.
