Michail Iliadis

I am a Sr. Research Engineer at Apple. I am currently focusing on image and video understanding with the goal to provide the best on-device human experiences!

Prior to Apple, I was a Sr. Research Scientist at Clarifai working on building a computer vision platform and an Applied Scientist at Vidado.ai working in document image analysis. Before Clarifai and Vidado, I was a Research Scientist at SONY US Research Center where I worked on semantic segmentation for limited resource computing devices.

I received my Ph.D. in EECS from Northwestern University in 2016 where I worked under the supervision of Aggelos K. Katsaggelos in the Image and Video Laboratory (IVPL).

Research

My research has been focused in video compressive sensing for perceived quality video reconstruction and recognition. The methodologies and techniques I have applied include sparsity-seeking optimization and deep learning based models. My current research goal is to understand human-objects relations in images and videos and building efficient on-device representations. Relevant tasks I have worked on recently include object detection, human pose estimation and vision-language models.

DeepBinaryMask: Learning a Binary Mask for Video Compressive Sensing
Michael Iliadis, Leonidas Spinoulas, Aggelos K. Katsaggelos
Elsevier Digital Signal Processing, 2020
bibtex / code & data

We propose a novel encoder-decoder neural network model called DeepBinaryMask for video compressive sensing. The proposed framework is an end-to-end model where the sensing matrix is trained along with the video reconstruction.

Using Deep Neural Networks for Inverse Problems in Imaging
