Dr. Jason J. Corso is currently an assistant professor of Computer
Science and Engineering Department at the University at Buffalo SUNY.
He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at The Johns Hopkins
University in 2005. He received the M.S.E Degree from The Johns
Hopkins University in 2002 and the B.S. Degree with honors from Loyola
College In Maryland in 2000, both in Computer Science. He spent two
years as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of
California, Los Angeles.
His research interests are in the fields of computer and
medical vision (segmentation and recognition), computational
biomedicine, machine intelligence, statistical learning, perceptual
interfaces and smart environments. His current research focus
is to develop techniques for automatically learning hierarchical
statistical models of complex phenomena and deriving robust efficient
inference algorithms on these models.
The main task of his postdoctoral fellowship was to develop methods that
automatically identify and characterize anatomic and pathologic
structures within medical image data. In this work, he proposed an
approach to incorporate learned model-specific affinity functions in a
Bayesian affinity calculation for graph-based segmentation methods.
He also developed a new energy minimiation algorithm called
Graph-Shifts that manipulates a dynamic hierarchical decomposition of
the image to rapidly and robustly do segmentation and recognition.

In his graduate work, he was a member of the Visual Interaction Cues
project. His dissertation proposed an extensible framework for
building perceptual interfaces that use video-based input devices. He
studied the development of general methods for vision-based
interaction that allow dynamic, unencumbered interaction in
environments augmented with new display technology and both active and
passive vision-systems. [more]
