Researcher

Jonathan Long

Jonathan Long is known for fully convolutional networks, a computer vision method for semantic segmentation. They co-wrote the paper with Evan Shelhamer and Trevor Darrell, which was submitted to arXiv in November 2014 and published at CVPR 2015. A doctorate from UC Berkeley followed in 2016, with Trevor Darrell as advisor. They were also among the core developers of Caffe. In June 2025, the fully convolutional networks paper received the Longuet-Higgins Prize at CVPR.
