I am a Professor in the Computer Science &
Engineering Department at UCSD. This means I can now go barefoot and there is
nothing they can do about it! I am a member of the AI Group
at UCSD. My
research group, Gary's
Unbelievable Research Unit, publishes unbelievable research. Our research is
strongly interdisciplinary. It concerns using neural networks and
other computational models applied to problems in cognitive
science and artificial intelligence, engineering and biology. I
have had success using them for such disparate tasks as modeling
how children acquire words, studying how lobsters chew, and
nonlinear data compression. Most recently I have worked on face
and object recognition, visual salience and visual
attention, and modeling early visual cortex.
