 Peng Li

I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Engineering Mathematics with Dr. Colin Campbell. Before coming to Bristol, I was in the Department of Computer Science at University College London, with Dr. Simon J. D. Prince.

My research interests include computer vision, machine learning, image analysis and medical signal analysis. In particular, Bayesian approach to face recognition and facial keypoint localization, decision fusion, kernel-based methods, object detection and recognition and imbalanced data problem etc.

My current research is machine learning methods for bioinformatics. At PVL, my research focused on face recognition based on probabilistic approaches. E.g. I proposed to use the same probabilistic model for both face registration and recognition, and proposed a Context based additive logistic model to improve facial keypoint localization under large pose variation. Our probabilistic model is one of the best models in the Labelled Faces in the Wild (LFW) database.
