Wuao Liu (刘武傲)

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student working in the Computer Vision Lab at UMass Amherst, advised by Prof. Grant Van Horn. Previously, I received my M.S. and B.Eng. degrees in Robotics from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and Zhejiang University, respectively.

My research leverages computer vision and machine learning for applications in AI4Science. I currently focus on visual and auditory recognition of fine-grained categories, such as wildlife species, to support biodiversity monitoring and conservation efforts.

If you are interested in any kinds of collaboration, please feel free to send me an email!

Selected Publications

Audio Geolocation
Audio Geolocation: A Natural Sounds Benchmark
Mustafa Chasmai, Wuao Liu, Subhransu Maji, Grant Van Horn
Under Review, 2025
project page / code / arXiv

Using a vision-inspired approach, we tackle the novel challenge of predicting the geographic location of audio recordings by leveraging species sounds and multimodal retrieval techniques.

LLMs for Goal-Oriented Tasks
Can Large Language Models Reason About Goal-Oriented Tasks?
Filippos Bellos, Yayuan Li, Wuao Liu, Jason J. Corso
ACL Workshop, 2024
