Domain Adaptation in Computer Vision with Deep Learning

Hemanth Venkateswara is an Assistant Research Professor at the School of Computing Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering at Arizona State University. He completed his PhD in machine learning and computer vision in 2017 from Arizona State University. Hemanth’s research interests include transfer learning, active learning, zero-shot learning, incremental learning and generative models using deep learning. His research explores knowledge transfer paradigms for deep neural networks that are challenging to train due to paucity of annotated data. Hemanth holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics and master’s degrees in Physics and Computer Science. Prior to his PhD, Hemanth worked as a senior software engineer at Alcatel-Lucent Technologies, India. Hemanth is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.
