Wayne Zhang

I am leading the BigVideo R&D team of SenseTime. I also serve as an EXCO member of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Specialist Group of Hong Kong Computer Society (HKCS).

Before I was a quantitative trader, developing market-making strategies with the knowledge of machine learning and market microstructure.

I was a participant on the predictive modelling competition platform Kaggle. My highest Kaggle ranking was 6th.

I obtained the PhD degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the BEng degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing. I spent a year as a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia.

I published 20+ papers on top journals such as TPAMI, TMM, TKDE and conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, IJCAI, ACM Multimedia. I am also a reviewer of a few journals, including IJCV, TPAMI, TIP, TNNLS and TIFS.
