Currently, Hao is working as the Assistant Researcher in YouTu Lab, led by professor Jiaya Jia (IEEE Fellow). YouTu Lab is affiliated with the CSIG (Cloud and Smart Industries Group), Tencent. YouTu Lab is one of the three AI research labs in Tencent.

 

 

Before that, Hao received his M.Sc.'s degree at LAMDA Group, which is led by professor Zhi-Hua Zhou (foreign member of the Academy of Europe, ACM/AAAI/AAAS/IEEE/IAPR Fellow). His adviser was professor Jianxin Wu (member of the Thousand Talents Plan). LAMDA (Learning And Mining from DatA) is affiliated with the National Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, Department of Computer Science and Technology and the School of Artificial Intelligence, Nanjing University (NJU), China. He received his B.Sc.'s degree in Nanjing University in 2016. In the same year, he was admitted to study for a M.Sc.'s degree without entrance examination. He was a member of Excellent Engineer Training Program, from Ministry of Education of China.

 

 

 

Besides, he has been a member of Communist Party of China since 2013. He is a columnist/writer of serval medias, such as 机器之心, 新智元, AI科技评论, 人工智能头条, SIGAI, and AI100.

Research Interests

Hao's current research interests mainly include machine learning and computer vision, especially on deep learning and visual recognition. He is working on exploiting convolutional features in both supervised and unsupervised ways to improve the efficiency of convolutional neural networks.

Besides, he is particularly interested in linear algebra and its applications. Linear algebra is closely related to real-world applications, such as linear systems (Ax = b), dynamic systems (uk+1 = Auk or du(t)/dt = Au(t)), optimization problems (argminu f(u)), linear transformations (T(u) = Au), etc. Please refer to this page for further discussions.
