Wei (Wayne) Zhang

I am a Research Director at SenseTime Group Limited Hong Kong (HK). 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 19 papers on top journals such as TPAMI, TMM, TKDE and conferences such as CVPR, IJCAI, MM. I am also a reviewer of a few journals, including IJCV, TPAMI, TIP, TNNLS and TIFS. Email: We have openings for research interns in the field of scalable deep learning, video understanding and reinforcement learning. Please contact me via email.
