About Me

Hi, I'm Chi Zhang.

"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 – a Ph.D. student of Department of Computer Science, University of California - Los Angeles. I’m a graduate student researcher at Center for Vision, Cognition, Learning and Autonomy (VCLA), advised by Professor Song-Chun Zhu. I also work part-time at the International Center for AI and Robot Autonomy (CARA).

My reseach interests include but are not limited to

  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning

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

I serve/served as

  • Conference reviewer: CVPR 2019, ICCV 2019, AAAI 2020
