Ian Simon

Who am I? I'm a graduate student in the Computer Science department at the University of Washington. What do I do? I work with Steve Seitz on computer vision problems like scene summarization and organizing community photo collections. You might have also heard of MySong, which I worked on at Microsoft Research with Dan Morris and Sumit Basu. Where am I? My office is CSE 618. What is my email address? It's iansimon@cs.washington.edu. What else do I do? In my spare time, I train with Axé Capoeira Seattle and play keyboard in Rewind, an '80s cover band.

Projects

	MySong MySong automatically chooses chords to accompany a vocal melody, allowing a user with no musical training to rapidly create accompanied music.			Scene Summarization for Online Image Collections We use the distribution of images on Flickr to automatically select a set of summary views for a given scene.
	Multiview Image Segmentation and Correspondence We automatically segment a set of reference objects from a new image under occlusions, lighting changes, and non-rigid deformations.			Audio Analogies Given an example solo recording and its score, we synthesize audio to play a new input score in the style of the example.
