RESEARCH Submodular Optimization and Matroid Theory in Vision Assistant Research Scientist

EXPERIENCE UMD 06/2011 - Present

Proposed a submodular and monotonic objective function under the matroid constraint

for discriminative dictionary learning and supervised clustering. The optimization is more

than an order of magnitude faster than many state-of-art approaches.

Proposed a new objective function and e cient optimization approach for joint image la-

beling (such as segmentation, restoration) and recognition problems (such as annotation,

detection and classi cation).

Sparse Representation and Discriminative Dictionary Learning Research Associate

UMD 06/2010 - 05/2011

Proposed a novel discriminative learning approach called Label Consistent K-SVD for face

recognition and object category recognition. The source code is now public.

Proposed a dictionary learning approach for learning action attributes via information

theory for action recognition.

Proposed a uni ed dictionary learning framework with pair-wise constraints for face veri-

cation and recognition.
