Brief Description of Research:
Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a major research topic in various fields. There are more jobs that
require AI's related skills now. In view of this, a group of faculty members in our institute have been put together
to conduct research in big data analytics and machine learning (including deep learning) with applications in
multimedia signal processing (video summarization), social network analysis, recommender systems, and
precision marketing.
Smart Album System with Auto Captioner

|
The album can be organized “smartly’’ so that a picture can be searched by a keyword or a sentence! DEEP LEARNING was used to automatically pick up the most important pictures and an improved LSTM was used to generate the semantic descriptions to boost user experiences. |
Video Summarization and Captioning
![]() |
|
A summarized video not only preserves the essential frames from the original video, but also captures their semantic information. With the proposed S2VT, SA, and data augmentation strategies, our approach further improves the performance of the semantic information. With the video summarization and captioning techniques, a user can easily seek any clips in a video by querying the semantic information!! |
