Research in our lab focuses on two intimately connected branches of vision research: computer vision and human vision. In both fields, we are intrigued by visual functionalities that give rise to semantically meaningful interpretations of the visual world. In computer vision, we aspire to build intelligent visual algorithms that perform important visual perception tasks such as object recognition, scene categorization, integrative scene understanding, human motion recognition, material recognition, etc. In human vision, our curiosity leads us to study the underlying neural mechanisms that enable the human visual system to perform high level visual tasks with amazing speed and efficiency.

| 2013.03 | We are preparing to run the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2013. This year we will be introducing an additional object detection task with 200 object categories modeled after the PASCAL VOC detection challenge. Also, check out the new Fine-Grained Classification Challenge. |
