Co-Authors

George received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Houston in 2007 where his research focused on 2D-to-3D face recognition.

Currently he works on improving various recommender systems within YouTube using machine learning. His past work at Google included the design of classifiers for finding objects and concepts in video. One of the biggest challenges of this work was formulating the problem in such a way that no human rater input would be necessary in order for the system to learn. This was a crucial constraint, as the goal was have YouTube as input, and a large number of reasonably good classifiers as output. This project was one of the largest scale computer vision tasks at Google. His first projects at Google involved developing algorithms for automated video enhancement, and personalized face enhancement.
