Profile
Bio.
Hirokatsu Kataoka received his Ph.D. in engineering from Keio University in 2014. His research experience includes visiting scientist at Technical University of Munich (TUM) and JSPS Fellow (PD) at the University of Tokyo. Currently, he is a Chief Senior Researcher at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). He also leads the cvpaper.challenge which conducts comprehensive survey and collaborative research in the field of computer vision and related academic fields. He has contributed to develop a strong baseline for video recognition in spatiotemporal 3D ResNets, and establish a novel learning strategy in Formula-Driven Supervised Learning (FDSL). He has received ACCV 2020 Best Paper Honorable Mention Award, AIST 2019 Best Paper Award, and ECCV 2016 Workshop Brave New Idea, and was featured in MIT Technology Review.
