My name is Zhuoran Yu and I am a third-year CS Ph.D student at UW-Madison advised by Prof. Yong Jae Lee. Previously, I obtained my Masters in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology where I worked with Prof. Zsolt Kira.

My research interests span in various domains within computer vision and machine learning. My recent work focuses on:
