A research team from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) has earned international recognition at the IEEE/CVF International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2025) — the premier global event in computer vision research.
Under the supervision of Dr. Fakhri Karray, MASc student Md Rezwanul Haque, ECE alumnus S. M. Taslim Uddin Raju, and Dr. Md. Milon Islam received the Best Poster Award and secured 2nd Place in the Continuous Sign Language Recognition Challenge (Unseen Sentences Task) at ICCV 2025.
Their award-winning paper, titled “A Signer-Invariant Conformer and Multi-Scale Fusion Transformer for Continuous Sign Language Recognition,” was also recognized with the Best Poster Award at the 1st Multimodal Sign Language Recognition Workshop held in conjunction with ICCV 2025.
“These recognitions reflect our team’s dedication to advancing multimodal machine learning and sign language understanding,” said Haque. “We are very excited to receive both recognitions from such a top-tier conference and hope to contribute more in the future.”
These achievements highlight the groundbreaking research taking place within ECE at the University of Waterloo. Through world-class research and hands-on learning opportunities, ECE continues to develop the talent base that drives innovation in Canada and beyond.
