The students will work on the following Research Topics:
(1) Deep learning for computer vision (object detection/recognition, action detection/recognition, human pose estimation and tracking, semantic segmentation, etc.)
(2) Vision for drones (vision-assisted navigation, control, planning, etc.)
(3) Multi-modality learning (vision, text, speech, etc.)
(4) AutoML (e.g., neural architecture search)
(5) Resource-efficient deep learning for edge computing (e.g., model compression/pruning, adaptive/dynamic neural networks, spiking neural networks, etc.)
(6) Label-efficient deep learning (e.g., self-supervised learning, semi-supervised learning, weakly-supervised learning)
(7) Federated learning and applications

Requirements:
(1) Undergraduate or MS students with degrees in Computer Science/Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or related majors.
(2) Strong programming and/or mathematical skills. Proficient in deep learning frameworks, e.g., PyTorch
(3) Candidates with research experience in image processing, computer vision, and machine learning, are preferred.
(4) Proficiency in English reading and writing (through GRE, TOEFL/IELTS scores, and publications).
(5) Strong motivation and passion for conducting research and solving challenging problems.

Interested individuals are encouraged to contact Dr. Chen Chen (chen.chen@crcv.ucf.edu) with the following documentation:
(1) A short description of your research interest and experience
(2) A current CV
(3) Transcripts if applicable
(4) Representative publications if applicable

Short-listed prospective students will be contacted for an interview.
