For the highly practical dissertation “Toward Image Semantic Segmentation and Classification using Bracket-style Convolutional Neural Networks and Its Variants”, Dr. Hua Cam Hao won the SIU Prize Computer Science Season 1 Honorable Mention.
Impressing the SIU Prize Computer Science Councils, Dr. Hao’s dissertation focuses on advanced computer vision technology, specifically Bracket-style Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Cross-Attention Fusion mechanisms. This method has proven its ability to repeatedly combine semantic information from low-resolution multi-dimensional feature arrays with contextual information from high-resolution arrays in pairs throughout the end-to-end processing flow of the foundational CNN architecture. As a result, the model achieve high efficiency in image segmentation and classification, particularly useful for medical and industrial applications.
In addition, Dr. Hao’s dissertation is proved its value by a series of outstanding research works published in leading international journals and conferences, including three SCIE-indexed articles and three papers presented at A* conferences such as IEEE SMC and IEEE EMBC. These achievements affirm the academic quality of his dissertation and highlight the practical potential of the models he developed.
Dr. Hua Cam Hao received the SIU Prize for his breakthrough and highly practical research in medicine and industry
Dr. Hua Cam Hao, currently a Senior AI Research Engineer at TymeX Vietnam, successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in 2022 at Kyung Hee University, South Korea.
