Students
Why having research projects in MiRA group? for CSIE undergraduates and PhD students. Some quick demos:
- Effective and efficient product query by mobile phone

- Interactive video (Question and Answering)

- Realtime image retrieval over million-scale image collections

- Million-scale image graph construction and clustering by cloud computation (MapReduce over 18 Hadoop servers).

- Flora Project: Flower Retrieval and Social Network

- Multimodal Fusion for Mobile Annotation – GPS, Compass, or Camera

- Indexing million-scale faces in sub-second response

- Real-time video retrieval and mobile question and answering

We keep recruiting graduate students for the exciting projects of both great theoretical interests and strong industrial demands. Several image/video/audio retrieval projects are also good for undergraduate students. Please contact us for more discussions!! For example,
- Large-scale image/video retrieval -- searching one billion photos and videos
- Semantic event and concept detection in photos and videos
- Mobile and cloud-based image/video applications
- Exploiting social media for knowledge acquisition
- Internet monetization (e.g., advertising)
- Multimedia testbed and evaluation (e.g., LSCOM, TRECVID)
- Investigating machine learning and information retrieval
theoretical approaches
- Realizing advanced researches towards business deliverables
- etc.
See more exiciting research problems we are doing now and media coverage (e.g., TV news and newspapers such as Liberty Times (PDF), UDN News (PDF), etc.)!!
We, as MiRA (or "R") group, founded in summer 2007, affiliate with faculties and students in CMLab, where we share research resources and obligations. Specifically, our group focus more on advanced researches regarding multimedia semantic analysis, indexing, retrieval, etc. We welcome students who have strong motivations, enjoy challenges, appreciate novel ideas, and aim at quality publications. We will have frequent cross-site projects with research institutions abroad and project presentations (in English) to international researchers.
