Jianbo Jiao is an Assistant Professor in Computer Vision and Machine Learning in the School of Computer Science at University of Birmingham. Before joining Birmingham, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Biomedical Image Analysis (BioMedIA) group and the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at the University of Oxford, working on the projects SeeBiByte and VisualAI.

His research is mainly about Computer Vision and Machine Learning, especially on learning from limited supervision and multi-modal data.

Biography

Jianbo’s research interests include Computer Vision and Machine Learning, with their applications to challenging and interesting vision and healthcare problems. He obtained his MSc from Peking University in 2015, and PhD in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong in 2018, supported by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme. He was a visiting scholar with the Beckman Institute at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign from 2017 to 2018, working with Prof Thomas S. Huang. After that, He joined the BioMedIA group and VGG in Oxford as a postdoctoral researcher, where he worked on the EPSRC projects SeeBiByte and VisualAI with Prof Alison Noble and Prof Andrew Zisserman.

He has been consistently publishing at top venues in computer vision and machine learning (e.g. ICCV/CVPR/ECCV/BMVC/TPAMI/IJCV/NeurIPS/AAAI, etc.), and holds 3 patents. He has also been actively contributing to the community, and served as the Co-Chair of the 25th Annual Conference on Medical Image Understanding and Analysis (MIUA), Area Chair of the 30th ACM International Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM), Senior Program Committee member of the 30th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI), and at the program committee of several international leading conferences and journals. He has also been recognised by several Outstanding Reviewer Awards from the leading conferences and journals (e.g. CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS and MICCAI, etc.). 

Research

Jianbo’s research is around the general problems in Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Medical Imaging. His current research interests mainly focus on learning from limited supervision (e.g. self-supervised/weakly-supervised/semi-supervised learning, transfer learning) and from multi-modal sensory data (e.g. image/video, speech/audio, text/NLP, depth/stereo, gaze/saliency, motion, etc.).
