About Me

Hi, I'm Chi Zhang (张驰).

"The study of vision must therefore include not only the study of how to extract from images the various aspects of the world that are useful to us, but also an inquiry into the nature of the internal reprensentations by which we capture this information and thus make it available as a basis for decisions about our thoughts and actions." ‐ David Marr

About Me

I’m Chi Zhang (张驰). I recently joined Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) as a full-time research scientist. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Department of Computer Science, University of California - Los Angeles, advised by Professor Song-Chun Zhu.

My recent reseach interests include abstract reasoning, active reasoning and applied research for challenging problems.

I used to work with Professor Dit-Yan Yeung at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Professor Deng Cai at my alma mater, Zhejiang University.

I serve as

  • Conference reviewer: CVPR (from 2019), ICCV (from 2019), ECCV (from 2020), NeurIPS (from 2020), ICLR (from 2020), ICML (from 2021), AAAI (from 2020)
  • Journal reviewer: IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP), Psychological Review
