Yi-Zhe Song is a Professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning, at the Centre for Vision Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), University of Surrey. He leads the SketchX Lab within CVSSP - a large research group of 3 academics, 2 postdocs, and 14 full-time PhD students. His vision for SketchX is understanding how seeing can be explained by drawing. In other words, how better understanding of human sketch data can be translated to insights of how human visual systems operate, and in turn how such insights can benefit computer vision and cognitive science at large.
