Ed Fish

Hello there! 👋

I’m a Research Fellow in Computer Vision and Deep Learning at the Centre for Vision, Speech, and Signal Processing (CVSSP) at the University of Surrey, UK. I’m currently working with Professor Richard Bowden on multi-modal video understanding with applications in sign language translation, recognition, and production. I recently completed my PhD in efficient multi-modal video understand with Dr Andrew Gilbert at the Innovative Media Lab at the University of Surrey. I also spent time during my PhD at Samsung Research working on foundational model compression and at Kings College London working on Responsible AI.

My recent contributions include publications at NeurIPS, Interspeech, BMVC, and ICIP with work on video classification, action recogntion, ASR, quantization, temporal action localization, and efficient video processing.

Before working in ML I worked as a creative technologist and educator, working with companies and institutions such as Foster & Partners, Sky, Grimshaw, University of East London, and Mayor of London helping to develop creative tech initiatives to get more young people interested in programming. In 2019 I was elected as a fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts (FRSA) in recognition of my commitment to positive social change. I’m passionate about widening access to academia and improving accessibility and engagement with Computer Science. If you would like any help, advice, or support in applying to university, publishing work, or developing your network please get in touch with me - I’m always happy to help where I can.
