My general areas of interest are machine learning, artificial intelligence and computational cognitive science. In particular, I have been working in  machine learning (especially deep learning) and machine perception (computer vision and audio/speech information processing) for over three decades. On the basis of the aforementioned fundamental researches, I am keen on developing intelligent systems for real world applications.

Current Research Topics in MLP@UoM Lab

• Representation Learning and Applications
• Reinforcement Learning and Applications
• Continual Learning and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
• Ensemble,Transfer/Multi-task and Zero-shot Learning
• Temporal Information Processing and Applications
• Affective Computing (Emotion Detection/Modeling/Recognition)
• Human Activity Recognition and Understanding
• Visual and Audio Information Processing
• Multimodal Information Processing
• Video Game Content Generation and AI Video Gaming
• Intelligent System Development
