About Me |
I am a senior research scientist at the Machine Learning Research Group, NVIDIA Research. Before joining NVIDIA in 2018, I obtained Ph.D. in ECE from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017, and M.Phil. in ECE from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2012. I graduated with a bachelor's degree from the Union Class of Electrical Engineering (FENG Bingquan Pilot Class), South China University of Technology in 2008. My current research interests mainly focus on deep representation learning, weakly/semi-supervised learning, transfer learning and deep structured prediction, with their applications to vision and robotics problems. I am broadly interested in: (1) general scene and video understanding, (2) bottom-up grouping and mid-level representation, (3) robust representation for cross-domain/cross-task/open set generalization and adaptation, (4) lifelong learning with interactive/weak/self-supervisions. My research goal is to is to leverage the abundant domain knowledge, priors and structured information to eliminate uncertainties with minimum human supervision and uncover the secret towards true visual intelligence. I am a winner of the Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation Track, WAD Challenge@CVPR18. I received the Best Paper Award at WACV15, and was twice awarded the HKTIIT Post-Graduate Excellence Scholarships in 2010 and 2012. |
