Darrell’s group
develops algorithms for large-scale perceptual learning, including object and
activity recognition and detection, for a variety of applications including
autonomous vehicles, media search, and multimodal interaction with robots and
mobile devices. His areas of interest include computer vision, machine
learning, natural language processing, and perception-based human computer
interfaces.
Prof. Darrell also serves as consulting Chief Scientist for the start-up Grabango, which
is developing checkout-free shopping experiences, and for Nexar, which is pioneering city-scale
visual driving analytics. Darrell is on the
scientific advisory board of several other ventures, including WaveOne, SafelyYou, and
KiwiBot, and Center Stage.
Previously, Darrell advised Pinterest, Tyzx (acquired
by Intel), IQ Engines (acquired by Yahoo), Koozoo, BotSquare/Flutter (acquired
by Google), MetaMind (acquired by Salesforce) and DeepScale. Darrell has also served as an expert witness for
patent litigation relating to computer vision.
