Personal Profile
My name is Haopeng (Hop) Li, and I received my PhD from The University of Melbourne. I was supervised by Prof. Tom Drummond, Dr. Mingming Gong, and Dr. Qiuhong Ke. I received my B.S. degree from the School of Science at Northwestern Polytechnical University, and my Master’s degree from the School of Artificial Intelligence, Optics, and Electronics (iOPEN) at Northwestern Polytechnical University.
My research interests include:
- Computer Vision
- Video Understanding
- Multimodal Learning
- Generative Models
I have published several papers in recognized journals and conferences, including T-PAMI, T-IP, ECCV, and ICML.
