Short Bio

From 2021, I am leading a outstanding group, about 20 researcher, which evaluate and promote the quality of user generated video on kuaishou. I worked at SenseTime with Junjie Yan from 2018.11 to 2021.3, focus on object detection and Automl. I worked at BaiDu IDL with Feng Zhou from 2016.11 to 2018.11 and learned a lot apart from tech. Fortunately, I was supervised by prefessor JuFeng Yang and cooperated with MingMing Cheng. And received the Master degree from Nankai University in 2017.

I was tech leader of the group, named 搜索与决策(inspired by exploration and exploitation), which focus on Detection(face/human/traffic/structure/keypoint/video) and Automl (augmentation/samping/loss/network auto search), about 20 researcher.

I am leading a group, which focus on UGC video quality assessment (KVQ, Kuaishou Video Quality, such as noise/blocky/color/dirtylens ) and processing algorithms (KEP & KRP, Kuaishou Enhancement & Restoration Processing, such as video deblur/SR/denoise ), about 20 researcher. For further boosting the performance of KVQ and KEP & KRP, we develop detection/classification algorithms.
