Zhiwu Huang

I am a postdoctoral researcher with Prof. Luc Van Gool at Computer Vision Lab, ETH Zurich. My research interest lies in Computer Vision and Machine Learning for Automated Video Artificial Intelligence, capable of autmatically learning to understand the world through videos. I currently working on video generation, enhancement and manipulation as well as human-focussed video clustering, classification, prediction with deep manifold learning, generative distribution learning, and neural architecture learning.
