My Second Marathon!

Today is the annual Christie Clinic Illinois Marathon. The race starts near Assembly Hall, runs through campus, loops through Urbana, back through campus, out into Champaign, and finishes on the 50-yard line of Memorial Stadium (route). It is a good chance to visit both Urbana and Champaign in the same time. 

I may not be a fast runner, but I am definitely a persistent runner! After 5 hours, I earned my second Marathon medal! Exhausted, but very happy :D

Thanks everyone for cheering me up! Hooray!

Transformation Guided Image Completion

I just presented our work on image completion in International Conference on Computational Photography at Boston. This is my intern project done in Microsoft Research Redmond last summer. It's a fun project and I learned a lot from my two awesome mentors Johannes and Sing Bing. If you are interested, please check out the slide below and visit our project page.

The Best Course Syllabus

I received a syllabus promoting the course Machine Learning for Signal Processing next Fall (taught by Prof. Paris Smaragdis). The design of the poster is very creative. This is certainly the best syllabus I have ever seen!
