Basura Fernando

I am a research scientist at the IHPC (Institute of High-Performance Computing) of Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Singapore. I am also a NRF (National Research Foundation) Singapore Fellowship recipient and a principal investigator for CFAR (Centre for Frontier AI Research). I was an honorary lecturer at the Australian National University (ANU). Prior to that I was a research fellow at the Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV), the Australian National University. I obtained my PhD from the VISICS group of KU Leuven, Belgium in March 2015 under the supervision of Professor Tinne Tuytelaars. I am interested in Computer Vision and Machine Learning research.

Research interests: Action Recognition, Transfer Learning, Action Prediction, Weakly Supervised Learning, Computer Vision, Machine Learning. My CV

Job Vacancy and PhD scholarships

  • A) Updated: 3 Feb 2023: We have a new job opening for a Scientist in Computer Vision, and AI. Apply here!
  • We are looking for an excellent research Scientist with a background in Computer Vision and Machine learning to work on human action understanding using neurosymbolic AI approaches. Background in scene graph generation, human object interaction, action recognition, relational learning, inductive logic programming, and causal learning is highly advantageous.

  • Updated: 3 Feb 2023: We have 2 PhD scholarships in Computer Vision. Apply here AGS! and SINGA
  • PhD projects will use Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Symbolic Representations, Logic, and Grammar programs to understand human actions, activities, and human behaviours. Main objective is to develop models to bridge the gap between neural representations (e.g., deep learned latent codes) and symbolic representation (semantic graphs and logic programs) through novel neuro symbolic AI models to reason about human actions. Project will develop novel differentiable grammar, logic and representations for situations and actions. Background in Computer Vision and Machine Learning is needed.

    Project: ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision
    Robots are changing the way we live and work. The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV) brings together Australia's top researchers in computer vision and robotics to lead the world in robotic vision research. Robotic vision is the key enabling technology that will allow robotics to transform labour-intensive industries, disrupt stagnant markets, and ensure robots become a ubiquitous feature of the modern world.
    Project website
    Duration : June 2015 to March 2018

    Project: EU-FP7 AXES: Access to Audiovisual Archives
    The goal of AXES is to develop tools that provide various types of users with new engaging ways to interact with audiovisual libraries, helping them discover, browse, navigate, search and enrich archives. In particular, apart from a search-oriented scheme, we will explore how suggestions for audiovisual content exploration can be generated via a myriad of information trails crossing the archive. This will be approached from three perspectives (or axes): users, content, and technology.

    Duration : May 2012 to March 2015

    Project: BEELDCANON: Providing access to the rich Dutch-Flemish image culture
    Images are an essential part of our culture. Thanks to digitization and other technological innovations it is easier to distribute images. The research project BEELDCANON (Canon Image) wants to map out 'typical' images from the Flemish and Dutch culture, store them into a database and make the database easily searchable. Flemish researchers focus on listing buildings, such as the Atomium, Louvain's town hall or the Cathedral in Antwerp, while their Dutch counterparts focus on typical landscapes or scenes like the cheese market in Alkmaar and the Dam in Amsterdam.
