Biography
Weihong Li is a postdoctoral fellow within the MultiMedia Lab (MMLab) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, working with Xiangyu Yue. Before MMLab, he was a postdoc within the VICO Group led by Hakan Bilen in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Prior to postdoc, he completed his PhD in the same group, supervised by Hakan Bilen and Timothy Hospedales. His research interests are in computer vision and machine learning, with a focus on multi-task/domain learning and learning visual models from limited human supervision. His PhD thesis is awarded the BMVA Sullivan Doctoral Thesis Prize Runner-Up. His MTPSL paper is awarded the CVPR 2022 Best Paper Nominees. He has been a reviewer for top-tier conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, Neurips and journals such as TPAMI et al and he received the top reviewer award at Neurips'23.
Before Edinburgh, he did his master and bachelor at Sun Yat-sen University, working with Wei-Shi Zheng who thankfully introduced him to computer vision. During the master program, he was lucky to visit Queen Mary University of London to work with Shaogang Gong.
