Research Fields：Computer Vision, Computer Game, Human-Computer Interaction Learning
Research Overview：My research primarily centers on intelligent perception and decision-making. In the realm of intelligent perception, my initial work concentrated on tasks such as visual target detection, registration, tracking, segmentation, and recognition under unconstrained conditions. In recent years, I've delved into the integration of multimodal information for complex situational perception and analysis.
In the field of intelligent decision-making, I've crafted a research trajectory in game interactive learning. This involves amalgamating traditional game theory methods for problem representation modeling with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms for approximating solutions. Over 70 of my research papers have been published in international conferences and journals, accumulating over 17,000 Google Scholar citations. Notably, the algorithm for human attribute relationship perception received the Best Paper Award at ACM Multimedia 2013, the anchor-free single-stage online multi-object tracking algorithm secured the Best Paper Award at PRCV 2020, and the AlphaHoldem algorithm for large-scale imperfect information games was honored with the Distinguished Paper Award at AAAI 2022.
The intelligent perception and decision-making algorithms I've developed have garnered recognition in over ten significant technical competitions both domestically and internationally. These algorithms have been validated and successfully applied in large-scale practical scenarios, showcasing their efficacy.
