Research Interests

• Vision-Language Understanding: Integration of visual and linguistic information for multimodal reasoning.
• Open-Vocabulary Recognition: Recognition of objects and attributes beyond predefined categories, including fine-grained attributes like color, texture, and material.
• Human-Aligned AI: Development of AI systems that align with human preferences for improved interaction and collaboration, including building user studies to validate this alignment.
• AI Generation: Advancing image and text generation, with a focus on aligning both modalities effectively.
• Weakly-Supervised and Multimodal Learning: Leveraging weakly supervised learning for grounding visual and textual data.
• Semantic Segmentation: Developing techniques for pixel-level classification in images and videos.
• Video Object Segmentation: Advancing the segmentation of objects in dynamic video content.
• Biomedical Image Processing: Applying AI techniques to analyze and interpret medical images.
