My interest lies at the intersection of computer vision, natural language processing and applied machine learning. I worked on image/video to text generation, business activity/location recognition, visual/text sentiment analysis and recently focus on free-text report generation for medical images. I am currently a Senior Research Scientist at FX Palo Alto Laboratory (FXPAL) where I joined as a Research Scientist in 2014. Before that I was a Visiting Researcher at Columbia University (Host: Prof. Shih-Fu Chang). I was fortunate to work with talented researchers in academia and industry, and published over 30 papers and US patents. See Google Scholar, DBLP and US Patent for more details.
