Dr. Jason J. Corso is currently an assistant professor of Computer
Science and Engineering Department at SUNY at Buffalo. 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. He is a
recipient of the NSF CAREER award, ARO Young Investigator award, on the DARPA
CSSG, UB Young Investigator award and a UB Innovator
award.
His main research thrust is high-level imaging science. From biomedicine to
recreational video, imaging data is ubiquitous. Yet, imaging scientists and
intelligence analysts are without an adequate language and set of tools to
fully tap the information-rich image and video. He works to provide such a
language; specifically, he studies the coupled problems of segmentation and
recognition from a Bayesian perspective emphasizing the role of statistical
models in efficient visual inference.
His long-term goal is a comprehensive and robust methodology of automatically mining, quantifying, and generalizing information in large sets of projective and volumetric images and video.
The following four questions drive his current research inquiries:
- How to use principled hierarchical structures to model complex real-world phenomena?
- How to handle the massive data glut for machine learning while appropriately incorporating the user and yet requiring little labeling?
- How to incorporate prior high-level knowledge (semantics, ontology, context, etc.) during both learning and inference?
- What is the relationship between vision and language and action and reasoning?
