Dr. Burge is the Senior Advisor for Artificial Intelligence at the FBI. Previously he led the IARPA Janus machine learning Program for unconstrained face recognition and served as a computer scientist Program Director at the National Science Foundation (NSF). He has created highly-effective R&D teams in industry, federal, and academic spaces including holding the CAIO office at Idemia, Noblis, MITRE, and ETH Zürich. He was a tenured professor and his research has been cited over 3500 times and his books have been translated into German and Chinese.• Research http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=aePuJVAAAAAJ&hl=en• Patents https://patents.google.com/?inventor=Mark+J.+Burge• Books http://www.amazon.com/Mark-J.-Burge/e/B005363058 and http://imagingbook.comHis interests include developing novel tools to use machine learning for biometric identification from face, iris, and signatures found in "media in the wild"; computer vision, analytics, and media triage; algorithm development for segmentation, feature extraction, and motion estimation and tracking, digital image processing for enhancement and forensics; and information extraction, classification, and summarization from massive free form image, text, and structured data sets using machine learning, deep learning, and statistical pattern recognition. He is the co-author of the seminal paper on bias in face recognition and machine learning.
