Seoul, Republic of Korea

Hi, I’m Doanh. I completed my MSc in Computer Engineering at the School of Electrical Engineering, Korea University (03/2023 - 02/2025). Prior to this, I earned a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Information Technology, VNU-HCM (08/2019 - 09/2022). During this time, I also served as a teaching assistant in the Faculty of Software Engineering at the University of Information Technology, VNU-HCM (10/2022 - 03/2023). Throughout my academic journey, I have focused on various aspects of Computer Vision, including Object Detection, Document Image Understanding, Image Captioning, and Human-Object Interaction. Currently, my research centers on applying advanced image processing techniques to histopathology images.

QuIIL at T3 Challenge: Towards Automation in Life-Saving Intervention Procedures from First-Person View

Trinh T. L. Vuong, Doanh C. Bui, and Jin Tae Kwak

In AI for Brain Lesion Detection and Trauma Video Action Recognition, Aug 2024

Abs Bib PDF

In this paper, we present our solutions for a spectrum of automation tasks in life-saving intervention procedures within the Trauma THOMPSON (T3) Challenge, encompassing action recognition, action anticipation, and Visual Question Answering (VQA). For action recognition and anticipation, we propose a pre-processing strategy that samples and stitches multiple inputs into a single image and then incorporates momentum- and attention-based knowledge distillation to improve the performance of the two tasks. For training, we present an action dictionary-guided design, which consistently yields the most favorable results across our experiments. In the realm of VQA, we leverage object-level features and deploy co-attention networks to train both object and question features. Notably, we introduce a novel frame-question cross-attention mechanism at the network’s core for enhanced performance. Our solutions achieve the }}2^{nd}}}rank in action recognition and anticipation tasks and }}1^{st}}}rank in the VQA task.
