About me
I am currently working as a vice research director in SenseTime Research.
I obtain my PhD from Multimedia Lab (MMLab), the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2020, supervised by Prof. Xiaogang Wang. Before that I received my bachelor degree in 2016 with best bachelor thesis award. I'm the only awardee of Google PhD Fellowship 2019 in the Greater China area.
My research interests include: Artificial General Intelligence, Deep RL and neural network understanding under billions of data. Previously I was also proficient in basic computer vision topics (detection, classification, recognition, generation, synthesis and video understanding).
In recent years I am a reviewer for CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, IJCAI, T-PAMI, IJCV, TCSVT, TIP, PRCV.
Working Experience
Senior Researcher (vice director) at SenseTime Research. (since Jan 2020)
Departments head and tech lead in X-Lab. Leading 2 R&D departments, one for AI decision (RL/system) with its applications (like game AI), and the other one for advanced machine learning (Auto ML/neural network understanding/ optimization for huge models).
Research intern at Google Research, Seattle. (Jun 2019 to Oct 2019)
Worked on neural network understanding and NAS with Research Scientists Xuhui Jia, Mingxing Tan and Raviteja Vemulapalli.
Research intern & part-time researcher consultant at SenseTime Research. (Jan 2016 to Jan 2019)
Worked on large-scale face analysis (detection, recognition, synthesis), generative model and neural network miniaturizing.
Research intern at Microsoft Research (Asia), Visual Computing Group. (2015 to 2016)
Worked on object detection and recognition with Dr. Dong Chen.
