About

Dr Lin Yuanbo Wu received her PhD from The University of New South Wales, Kensington, Sydney, Australia. She has broad research interests across computer vision tasks and machine learning with strong motivation to address real-world challenges and has intensively published more than 70 peer-reviewed research articles (including two book chapters) in premier journals and proceedings. Dr Wu is specialized in video content understanding (such as video instance/panoptic/object segmentation, object detection/tracking), target re-identification, incremental learning, Generative AI, and AI-based advancement for medical study. She was a recipient of the Award for Growth of 2021 The 4th Eureka International Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition (Eureka IIEC 2021, Melbourne, Australia). Dr Wu is currently serving as the Associate Editor with IEEE Trans on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (IF: 14.255), IEEE Trans on Multimedia (IF: 8.182), IEEE Trans on Big Data (IF: 4.271), and Pattern Recognition Letters (IF: 4.757). She was invited to serve as Area Chair with ACM Multimedia 2023 (Ottawa), 2022 (Lisbon). Dr Wu is a Senior Member of IEEE.

Taught Modules

CSCM70 Mathematical Skills for Data Scientists

This course is an introductory course to the mathematical methods needed by a data scientist. It covers the basics of algebra, optimisation techniques, statistics, and Fourier analysis. The main goal of the class is for students to gain practical experience of the mathematical methods and tools that are essential in data science and that will be used in the other modules of this programme. The module is aimed at students with basic experience in mathematics.
CSCM77 Computer Vision and Deep Learning

This module introduces students to the important and modern topics and concepts of computer vision and deep learning, including image processing, feature extraction, camera calibration, stereo vision, motion and tracking, recognition, deep neural network and their application to vision problems. It teaches techniques that are used to understand and interpret the contents of images and videos and dissects state-of-the-art vision systems, such as Microsoft Kinect. Practical examples in Python are provided throughout the lectures.
