Contents

Early life and education

Grauman studied computer science at Boston College, graduating summa cum laude in 2001. She joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her postgraduate studies, earning a Master of Science degree in 2003 [5] followed by a PhD in 2006 supervised by Trevor Darrell. [1] [6] [3] During her PhD Grauman worked as a research intern at Intel and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Career and research

In 2007 Grauman was appointed Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor at University of Texas at Austin. [7] Her research looks to develop algorithms that can categorise and detect objects. [8] She is interested in how computer vision can solicit information from humans. [9] [10] She was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2011. [11]

She is an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellow. [12] She was awarded an Office of Naval Research young investigator award in 2012. [13] In 2013 she was awarded a Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Young Researcher Award. [14] She is working on techniques to get computers to watch and summarise videos for easy viewing. [15] The egocentric films will be used to aid the elderly and those with impaired-memories. [16] [17]

She has developed several patents for machine learning; including pyramid match kernel methods [6] and a technique to efficiently identifying images. [18] [19] [20]

Grauman serves as associate editor-in-chief of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence . [21] As of May 2018, Grauman is on leave at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). [22]

Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a paradigm in machine learning where a model is trained on a task using the data itself to generate supervisory signals, rather than relying on external labels provided by humans. In the context of neural networks, self-supervised learning aims to leverage inherent structures or relationships within the input data to create meaningful training signals. SSL tasks are designed so that solving it requires capturing essential features or relationships in the data. The input data is typically augmented or transformed in a way that creates pairs of related samples. One sample serves as the input, and the other is used to formulate the supervisory signal. This augmentation can involve introducing noise, cropping, rotation, or other transformations. Self-supervised learning more closely imitates the way humans learn to classify objects.
