I work on problems where learning from limited or unlabelled data matters — particularly in video understanding and vision-language representations. My research follows a simple principle: formulate a precise question, design a rigorous experiment, and measure whether the answer actually holds.

These are the areas where I spend my thinking time. Each connects to the others — video understanding needs good representations, representations need good objectives, and objectives need good evaluation.

R.02Implementations & Datasets
From paperto code.
Implementations of published methods and datasets contributed to the community. Each is accompanied by the research context that motivated it.
Paper-derived implementation of VL-JEPA (arXiv:2512.10942v2) — a vision-language architecture that predicts continuous embeddings instead of autoregressive tokens, achieving stronger performance with 50% fewer trainable parameters.
Bi-directional InfoNCE training in embedding space
Selective decoding reduces inference cost by 2.85x
Supports captioning, VQA, retrieval, and classification
LegalSumUnsupervised Court Video Summarization via GAN + RL
Fully unsupervised video summarization for courtroom recordings. A policy gradient agent selects frames using only raw visual features — no transcripts, no human labels.

COURTSUMMultimodal Courtroom Video Summarization Benchmark
Benchmark dataset built from real-world U.S. courtroom trial recordings with synchronous visual, acoustic, and transcript streams alongside legal expert annotations.
