I am actively recruiting PhD students in Artificial Intelligence to work with my team. If you are interested and have a strong record from a good university, with a publication in a good conference such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, or MICCAI please send your CV to me. Full Scholarships (Tuition and Living) can be awarded within one month for truly exceptional candidates.

Research Interests

  • Face Recognition with Deep Learning
    We develop new technologies to improve face recognition. Our group is first in the world to develop face recognition databases based entirely on synthetic faces. Other aspects of face recognition and affective computing (determining emotions from facial expressions) are current research themes within the group.
  • Object Detection Using Deep Learning
    We are researching improved techniques to identify small objects with high precision
  • Synthetic Face and Image Generation
    We were the first to investigate training face recognition systems on synthetic faces.

Research Impacts

I have been pleased that my biometrics and other research has and is being been adopted commercially worldwide. My earlier face recognition systems have been installed by the University of San Francisco and Swinburne University among many other sites. More recently we have developed face recognition systems that are insensitive to the wearing of masks. These systems depend on our EDITH Ethical Face database of synthetic faces. To the best of our knowledge, we are the only group worldwide who can synthesise faces to order to train advanced ethical face recognition systems.

These systems have been adopted in the UK in 2020 by Facewatch Ltd and are currently being considered by the UK National Health Service and also Queensland Health to manage COVID 19 quarantine facilities and border control. In 2020-2021 we developed a touchless face mask fitting system for health workers to reduce the wastage of PPE and improve COVID19 management. This system is deployed on Queensland Health IT infrastructure in February 2021 and is planned to be made available nationally and internationally. The system has the potential to save millions of dollars in wasted PPE.

PRIZES, HONOURS AND AWARDS

  • Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common single-gene inherited disorders globally, with an incidence of 1/2500 individuals. While several phenotypes are associated with the disorder, the most common manifestation is cutaneous neurofibroma. The majority of adults develop these distressing cutaneous tumours (cNF), which increase in severity with age. Adult patients report cosmetic disfigurement due to cNF as the greatest burden of living with NF1. There is no way to predict tumour severity which can range from <100 to thousands. Youth and families experience reduced quality of life due to concerns about this uncertain future. We don’t yet understand why this condition is so variable or have any effective medical treatments. In the proposed research, we will assemble a consortium of internationally recognised experts in NF1 with access and capacity to recruit and phenotype patients to drive the largest genome-wide association and epigenome-wide association studies of the modifier gene networks driving the cutaneous phenotypic variance in NF1. We will then use individualised pharmacological annotation of these networks to identify precision treatment options to mitigate the most distressing and life quality damaging aspects of this devastating illness.

  • Microscopic diagnosis of Gram stain smears is one of the most time and labor intensive tasks in the clinical setting. With the recent development of automated digital pathology scanners, it is now possible to economically obtain high-resolution Gram stain whole slide images for routine diagnosis. This finally opens the doorway to automated identification of bacteria types from digital images in a clinical setting. However, Gram stain whole slide images comprise billions of pixels and suffer from high morphological heterogeneity as well as from many different types of artifacts. Identifying multiple types of tiny bacteria with various densities from an extremely large whole slide image is incredibly challenging. To this end, we propose an end-to-end framework with a novel loss function that tackles the patch aggregation while considering the correlation of different labels in this multi-label scenario. Our framework first effectively integrates the relations among multiple patch features, and then utilizes a class aggregator to generate a robust slide-level feature representation under multi-label setting. Furthermore, we propose a novel loss function integrating two regularization terms: 1) a negative regulator that reduces the confusion between bacteria and negative samples without any bacteria, and 2) an adversarial loss that alleviates the impact of background specification among various tissue samples. We show that the proposed method achieves superior performance compared to several state-of-the-art methods.

  • Incremental learning requires a model to continually learn new tasks from streaming data. However, traditional fine-tuning of a well-trained deep neural network on a new task will dramatically degrade performance on the old task — a problem known as catastrophic forgetting. We address this issue in the context of anchor-free object detection, which is a new trend in computer vision as it is simple, fast, and flexible. Simply adapting current incremental learning strategies fails on these anchor-free detectors due to lack of consideration of their specific model structures. To deal with the challenges of incremental learning on anchor-free object detectors, we propose a novel incremental learning paradigm called Selective and Inter-related Distillation (SID). In addition, a novel evaluation metric is proposed to better assess the performance of detectors under incremental learning conditions. By selective distilling at the proper locations and further transferring additional instance relation knowledge, our method demonstrates significant advantages on the benchmark datasets PASCAL VOC and COCO.

  • Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common single-gene inherited disorders globally, with an incidence of 1/2500 individuals. While several phenotypes are associated with the disorder, the most common manifestation is cutaneous neurofibroma. The majority of adults develop these distressing cutaneous tumours (cNF), which increase in severity with age. Adult patients report cosmetic disfigurement due to cNF as the greatest burden of living with NF1. There is no way to predict tumour severity which can range from <100 to thousands. Youth and families experience reduced quality of life due to concerns about this uncertain future. We don’t yet understand why this condition is so variable or have any effective medical treatments. In the proposed research, we will assemble a consortium of internationally recognised experts in NF1 with access and capacity to recruit and phenotype patients to drive the largest genome-wide association and epigenome-wide association studies of the modifier gene networks driving the cutaneous phenotypic variance in NF1. We will then use individualised pharmacological annotation of these networks to identify precision treatment options to mitigate the most distressing and life quality damaging aspects of this devastating illness.

  • Microscopic diagnosis of Gram stain smears is one of the most time and labor intensive tasks in the clinical setting. With the recent development of automated digital pathology scanners, it is now possible to economically obtain high-resolution Gram stain whole slide images for routine diagnosis. This finally opens the doorway to automated identification of bacteria types from digital images in a clinical setting. However, Gram stain whole slide images comprise billions of pixels and suffer from high morphological heterogeneity as well as from many different types of artifacts. Identifying multiple types of tiny bacteria with various densities from an extremely large whole slide image is incredibly challenging. To this end, we propose an end-to-end framework with a novel loss function that tackles the patch aggregation while considering the correlation of different labels in this multi-label scenario. Our framework first effectively integrates the relations among multiple patch features, and then utilizes a class aggregator to generate a robust slide-level feature representation under multi-label setting. Furthermore, we propose a novel loss function integrating two regularization terms: 1) a negative regulator that reduces the confusion between bacteria and negative samples without any bacteria, and 2) an adversarial loss that alleviates the impact of background specification among various tissue samples. We show that the proposed method achieves superior performance compared to several state-of-the-art methods.

  • Incremental learning requires a model to continually learn new tasks from streaming data. However, traditional fine-tuning of a well-trained deep neural network on a new task will dramatically degrade performance on the old task — a problem known as catastrophic forgetting. We address this issue in the context of anchor-free object detection, which is a new trend in computer vision as it is simple, fast, and flexible. Simply adapting current incremental learning strategies fails on these anchor-free detectors due to lack of consideration of their specific model structures. To deal with the challenges of incremental learning on anchor-free object detectors, we propose a novel incremental learning paradigm called Selective and Inter-related Distillation (SID). In addition, a novel evaluation metric is proposed to better assess the performance of detectors under incremental learning conditions. By selective distilling at the proper locations and further transferring additional instance relation knowledge, our method demonstrates significant advantages on the benchmark datasets PASCAL VOC and COCO.

  • Text-to-Face (TTF) synthesis is a challenging task with great potential for diverse computer vision applications. Compared to Text-to-Image (TTI) synthesis tasks, the textual description of faces can be much more complicated and detailed due to the variety of facial attributes and the parsing of high dimensional abstract natural language. We propose a text-to-face model that should not only produce images in high resolution (10241024) and text-to-image consistency, but also output multiple faces to cover a wide range of unspecified facial features in a natural way. By fine-tuning the multi-label classifier and image encoder, our model obtains the vectors and image embeddings which are used to manipulate the noise vector sampled from the normal distribution. Afterwards, the manipulated noise vector is fed into a pre-trained high-resolution image generator to produce a set of faces with desired facial attributes. We refer to our model as TTF-HD. Experimental results show that TTF-HD generates high-quality faces and achieves state-of-the-art performance.
