🇨🇳 Biography

Xue Yang is now a Ph.D. student in Wu Honor Class (吴文俊人工智能博士班), Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University starting from Autumn 2019. His research advisor is Prof. Junchi Yan.

Xue Yang received the B. E. degree from School of Information Science and Engineering, Central South University, Hunan, China, in 2016. He received the M. S. degree from School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2019.

Xue Yang's research interests include deep learning and computer vision, with a focus on generic/oriented object detection, and instance segmentation. Xue Yang has published about 30 papers at the top international CV/ML/AI conferences and journals, such as TPAMI, IJCV, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI and ACM MM. He is also the leading contributor to the MMRotate and AlphaRotate open-source projects for oriented object detection, and with 7000+ stars in Github.

The fundamental vision department at Shanghai AI Laboratory is now hiring. If you are interested in internship/researcher positions related to computer vision, please feel free to contact me through the email.
