Researcher

Chaitanya Desai

A computer vision researcher, Chaitanya Desai co-wrote a paper on multi-class object layout. The paper, written with Deva Ramanan and Charless Fowlkes, won the ICCV Marr Prize in 2009. He completed a doctorate at the University of California, Irvine in 2012, with a dissertation on relational models for human-object interactions. In 2012 he and Ramanan also published a paper on detecting actions, poses and objects at the European Conference on Computer Vision. Between 2015 and 2016, he co-wrote papers on CNN features for generative classification and on unsupervised underwater fish detection.
