What's going on here at ML Lab

  1. Dr. Xiang Zhang is Co-Chairing a special session at IJCNN 2025

    International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN; CORE Rank A) is a prominent conference in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and neural networks. Dr. Zhang is co-chairing the special session of Artificial Intelligence for Neural Engineering: Innovations, Applications and Future Directions. Manuscript submissions by Jan. 15th, 2025 are highly welcomed.

  2. "Medformer: A Multi-Granularity Patching Transformer for Medical Time-Series Classification" is accepted in NeurIPS 2024

    Authored by Yihe Wang, Nan Huang, Taida Li, Yujun Yan, and Xiang Zhang. The paper is available at https://neurips.cc/virtual/2024/poster/93940.

  3. Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Project Opportunities for Spring 2025!

    Are you an undergraduate student interested in gaining hands-on experience in machine learning research? The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) project opportunities are here for you for Spring 2025! Join our CharMLab and work alongside leading researchers on cutting-edge projects that explore the latest advancements in artificial intelligence.

  4. Three papers are accepted at CVPR 2024

    Congratulations to Dr. Srijan Das and his fellow students Dominick Reilly and Rajatsubhra Chakraborty!

  5. Dr. Srijan Das presented "AAN: Attributes-Aware Network for Temporal Action Detection" at BMVC 2023 in Aberdeen

    This paper explains how to utilize large-scale pre-trained vision language models (CLIP) for long-term action detection in videos.

  6. Dominick Reilly will present "Limited Data, Unlimited Potential: A Study on ViTs Augmented by Masked Autoencoders" at WACV 2024 in Hawaii

    This paper shows that jointly optimizing Vision Transformers for the primary task and a Self-Supervised Auxiliary Task is surprisingly beneficial when the amount of training data is limited.

  7. Dominick Reilly is awarded The Chateaubriand Fellowship

    Dominick Reilly is awarded The Chateaubriand Fellowship and will be interning at Inria Sophia Antipolis, France.
