Wei Zhang

I work on extracting signals and building models from data. I obtained the PhD degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, with 12 papers published on top journals and conferences. One of my paper was selected as oral presentation at CVPR. Before that, I received the BEng degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing. I spent a year as a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia. I was a participant on the predictive modelling competition site Kaggle. My highest Kaggle ranking was 6th. I am also an active reviewer of IEEE transactions, including TPAMI, TIP, TNNLS and TIFS.
