Wei Li

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Central Florida, advised by Prof. Chen Chen.

My research interests lie in streaming, interactive visual AI systems that continuously understand visual input and respond to user interactions in real time. I am particularly interested in making these systems efficient and responsive for long-running video streams.
