Dong Gong

I am a Senior Lecturer and ARC DECRA Fellow at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia. I am also an Adjunct Lecturer with the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML) of The University of Adelaide. Before joining UNSW in 2022, I was a Research Fellow at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), a Principal Researcher at Centre for Augmented Reasoning (CAR), The University of Adelaide, working with Prof. Anton van den Hengel, Prof. Qinfeng (Javen) Shi and Prof. Chunhua Shen. I obtained my PhD and B.S. in computer science from Northwestern Polytechnical University in 2018 and 2012, advised by Prof. Yanning Zhang. During my PhD studies, I spent two years at The University of Adelaide, working with Javen and Anton.

I am continually seeking highly motivated PhD, MPhil, or visiting students with passion and background for computer vision and machine learning.
Please check the details and drop me an email with your CV and transcripts if you are interested.

Research Interests

I have broad interests in machine learning and computer vision. My current major research topics are about:

learning with non-ideal supervision in dynamic real-world scenarios, e.g.,
- continual learning
- unsupervised/semi-supervised/domain-adaptive learning
pre-trained model adaptation, reuse, and alignment
high-level visual content understanding & low-level vision problems, e.g.,
- generative models
- semantic and depth prediction
- image restoration and enhancement
deep learning model design and optimization, e.g.,
- memory mechanism in deep learning
interdisciplinary problems with of CV, ML, and DL technologies, e.g.,
- mining and agriculture
