Yong (Norris) Zhang

I joined Meituan as a researcher. My research is on AIGC (AI Generated Content), e.g., image and video generation. Before joining Meituan, I was a senior researcher in Tencent AI Lab (2018-2024). I received my Ph.D. degree from Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA) in 2018. I was supervised by Prof. Bao-Gang Hu and Prof. Weiming Dong at National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR). Prior to CASIA, I got my B.Eng in Automation from Hunan University in 2012. From Sep. 2015 to Sep. 2017, I was a joint Ph.D. student in the Intelligent System Lab (ISL) at Rensselaer Ploytechnic Institute (RPI), advised by Prof. Qiang Ji.
