Vision and Learning Lab is led by Dr. Li Cheng at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta. Our research centers around computer vision, machine learning, visual behavior analysis, biomedical image anlysis, and multimedia signal processing.

News

Congrats to Jun for his paper, Hand Gesture Recognition from an Open-Set Perspective, being accepted recently by IEEE TMM!

Two papers in our lab are accepted into ICLR 2025. They are 1st authored by Yilin and Gohar, respectively. Congratulations!

Welcome Dr. Jing Wang, who recently joined in our lab as a Postdoc Fellow.

Congratulates to Gohar for successfully passing his MSc Exam! We wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
