About:
|
My area of research is in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. I am working to develop new systems and tools for use in biomedical research, targeted towards the fields of behavioral pharmacology and neuroscience. Current applications include video-based classification methods for rodent behaviors, and zebrafish video analysis. Methods of interest: Decision trees, semisupervised classification, kernels. See publication list for more information. | |
