Biography

Jiarui Xu is currently an undergraduate student in Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He was a visiting student in University of California San Diego mentored by Prof.Hao Su during 2019 Summer. He was also a full-time research intern in Visual Computing Group of Microsoft Research Asia from May, 2018 to April 2019, supervised by Dr.Yue Cao, Dr.Han Hu, Dr.Stephen Lin. Prior to that, he worked with Dr.Yu-Wing Tai and Prof.Chi-Keung Tang as a research assistant.

His research interests currently focus on computer vision and machine learning. He has experiences in image classification, object detection, action recognition and point cloud segmentation.

He is expected to complete B.S degree in Computer Science and Mathematics by 2020 Spring and applying for Ph.D starting from 2020 Fall. Here is his Curriculum Vitae.

GCNet: Non-local Networks Meet Squeeze-Excitation Networks and Beyond

  • Re-interpretation and connection of two top popular techniques proposed in CVPR 2018 (Non-local neural networks and SE-Net).
  • Unification of these the two techniques into a general framework.
  • Better instantiation of the general framework, which is about 50x faster than the non-local neural block, while achieving better accuracy than both techniques (non-local and SE-Net) on several recognition tasks such as ImageNet classification, COCO object detection and Kinetics action recognition.

Spatial-Temporal Relation Networks for Multi-Object Tracking

  • The first coherent and end-to-end framework for similarity measure which combines all of the appearance, motion and interaction cues.
  • Properly redesign of feature representation for the tracklet-object pair.
  • Achieve the state-of-the-art multi-object tracking (MOT) results on all of the MOT15-17 leaderboards using few bells and whistles.
