Brief Statement of Research Interest

My research interests include Computer Vision, Computer graphics, and machine learning. I have worked with the Essential Theories and Semantic Fusion Technologies for Big Data Analysis in the Smart Healthcare fund. The National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC) Joint Fund with Zhejiang Integration of Informatization and Industrialization under Key Project (U1609218).  I focused on image feature extraction and calculation in this project, including superpixel segmentation, Adaptive Edge Detection, Image Magnification and Image Smoothing Methods. 

• Current, my research interest includes:
  • Fuzzy Cognitive Maps and its applications in different fields.
  • Feature Selection Method and local causal structure of high-dimensional data Via Markov Blanket
