Research Questions
Please introduce your research quickly? I am a Ph.D. student from the University of South Carolina. This September, I just passed my dissertation defense, so I can definitely graduate on this Dec. My research area is computer vision, machine learning, especially for the deep learning recently. Our lab focused on improving the facial behavior recognition using the machine learning methods. The facial behavior recognition including the facial expression and facial action unit recognition. If you want to hear more about the facial action unit, I can explain you later. The problem is that given a facial image, the learned model should tell which expression or facial actions unit exist in this facial image. In the first three years of my Ph.D. program, we mainly extracted the human-designed features such as the LBP and HOG, then use the Adaboost or SVM for the classification. In the recent three years, we use the Deep learning methods especially the convolution neural networks. We main
