Congratulations to Dr. Changzhe Jiao for successfully defending his Ph.D. thesis yesterday! His dissertation is titled “Target Concept Learning from Ambiguously Labeled Data.” His research focused on developing methods that can learn target concepts, a signature or feature vector that describes and represents a target class of interest, from ambiguously and imprecisely labeled training data. […]

The lab went out rock climbing and painting last weekend! GatorSense members at UF had a great time rocking climbing at the Lake Wauburg South Shore and our labmates at MU tested out their artistic talents at Paint the Town in downtown Columbia, MO. As usual, we followed these up with plenty of pizza.

Congratulations to our labmate Changzhe Jiao as his paper “Multiple Instance Hybrid Estimator for Learning Target Signatures” was selected as one of the 10 finalists for the IGARSS 2017 student paper competition! The MI-HE paper outlines methods to characterize target signatures from imprecise and uncertain training labels. Changzhe will be presenting his paper at IGARSS […]
