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. His research interest includes computer vision and pattern recognition, especially in large-scale dataset for image and video recognition. He has received ACCV 2020 Best Paper Honorable Mention Award, AIST 2019 Best Paper Award, and ECCV 2016 Workshop Brave New Idea.
