I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Australian Institute for Machine Learning(AIML), funded by Centre for Augmented Reasoning(CAR). I obtained my PhD degree at School of Computer Science, The University of Adelaide, under the supervision of Prof. Chunhua Shen. My current major research interests are about computer vision with its application on dense prediction (such as matting, segmentation) and data effcient learning (such as continual learning, unsupervised learning).
