About Me
From Jun. 2020, I am a Professor at PCA Lab (led by Prof. Jian Yang) and Key Lab of Intelligent Perception and Systems for High-Dimensional Information of Ministry of Education, School of Computer Science and Engineering, NJUST.
From Oct. 2017 to Jun. 2020, I served as the Founding Director in Megvii Research Nanjing, Megvii Technology.
In 2014 and 2018, I got my M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree in LAMDA Group at Nanjing University, advised by Prof. Zhi-Hua Zhou and Prof. Jianxin Wu, respectively. From Oct. 2016 to Oct. 2017, I was a visiting scholar in Prof. Chunhua Shen’s group at UoA, Australia.

Research Interests
My research interests include some sub-fields of Computer Vision and Machine Learning:
Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCNN) is a type of feed-forward artificial neural network where the individual neurons are tiled in such a way that they respond to overlapping regions in the visual field, which is widely used in image and video related tasks.
Fine-Grained Image Analysis (FGIA) is a hot topic in computer vision and pattern recognition. The goals of FGIA are localizing the fine-grained objects, recognizing the objects’ subordinate categories, retrieving the fine-grained objects and so on.
Long-Tailed Distribution Learning (LTDL) deals with real-world datasets displaying skewed distributions with a long tail, i.e., a few classes (a.k.a. head classes) occupy most of the data, while most classes (a.k.a. tail classes) have rarely few samples.
General Object Detection is a computer technology related to computer vision and image processing that deals with detecting instances of semantic objects of a certain class in digital images and videos.
Weakly Supervised Learning (WSL), especially Multi-Instance Learning (MIL), is a variation on supervised learning. Instead of receiving a set of instances which are individually labeled, the learner receives a set of labeled bags, each containing many instances.
Bag-of-Words Model (BoW) can be applied to image related tasks by encoding local visual descriptors of one image into a high dimensional vector. In BoW, there also include Vector of the Locally Aggregated Descriptors (VLAD) and Fisher Vector (FV).
