Assistant Professor Hazel Doughty specializes in computer vision, aiming to enable computers to automatically understand visual content. Her research focuses on video understanding, where thousands of videos with text descriptions are fed to the computer. Her project, "From What to How," seeks to advance computers from identifying actions to understanding how they are performed, though this is currently limited by insufficient data.
Ultimately, her goal is for computers to independently analyze videos and comprehend methods used in various tasks. This would allow for the creation of assistive videos for activities like for instance proper CPR techniques.
