Natural Language And Vision Intersection Semantics In Visual Understanding Visual Reasoning Computer Vision Machine Learning

About

Ali Farhadi is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington and also serves as CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2). Before joining the UW faculty, Farhadi spent a year as a postdoctoral fellow at the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University working with Martial Hebert and Alyosha Efros. He got his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign under the supervision of David Forsyth. During his Ph.D. he also had the privilege of working closely with Derek Hoiem. Farhadi is mainly interested in computer vision, machine learning, the intersection of natural language and vision, analysis of the role of semantics in visual understanding, and visual reasoning.
