I am the Senior Director of Computer Vision at the Allen Institute for AI (AI2) in sunny Seattle. I am also an Affiliate Associate Professor at the Computer Science & Engineering department at the University of Washington .
I got my Ph.D. at the University of Maryand, College Park under the supervision of Prof. Larry S. Davis . My research interests lie at the intersection of vision, language and embodiment.
I also enjoy building and deploying computer vision and machine learning applications for users to interact with. Prior to AI2, I spent five years at Microsoft Bing, building very large scale and efficient machine learning systems in the Image & Video Search Relevance team.
