About Me
Wenjie Pei is a Professor with the Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, China.
He got his Ph.D. at Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision Lab, Delft University of Technology and worked with Prof. David Tax (TU Delft) and Dr. Laurens van der Maaten (Facebook AI Research). Before joining Harbin Institute of Technology, he was a Senior Researcher on Computer Vision at Tencent Youtu X-Lab. In 2016, he was a visiting scholar with the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). His research
interests lie in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition including sequence modeling, deep learning, video/image captioning, image synthesis, etc.
