Graduate Research Assistant
Multimedia Research Lab, CECS, UofL. From August 2006 - Present.
Graduate Research Assistant: Extensive experience with image processing and machine learning techniques. Namely, I work on the development and the implementation of Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and annotation prototype that takes advantage of the developed algorithms for efficient web image annotation and retrieval. Also, I seek to develop machine learning algorithms that could be used to integrate visual features with textual keywords, summarize, and organize the data repositories.
