Amir Zamir
About Me:
My research interests are broadly in computer vision, machine learning, and AI. The goal of my research has been going beyond narrow and passive vision methods toward a general multi-modal/multi-task vision and models that can operates as part of an active agent in the real world. Here are some of my works on this topic: 4M, Taskonomy, Mid-Level Vision, Gibson, Visual Morphology, MultiMAE, and Omnidata. I support Slow Science.
I was the CVML chief scientist of Aurora Solar (a Forbes AI 50 company, valued at $4B in 2022) from 2015 to 2022.
