Recent Projects

Actually, model compression is a kind of technique for developing portable deep neural networks with lower memory and computation costs. I have done several projects in Huawei including some smartphones' applications in 2019 and 2020 (e.g. Mate 30 and Honor V30). Currently, I am leading the AdderNet project, which aims to develop a series of deep learning models using only additions (Discussions on Reddit).

AI on Ascend: Real-Time Video Style Transfer

Huawei Developer Conference (HDC) 2020 | Online Demo

This project aims to develop a video style transfer system on the Huawei Atlas 200 DK AI developer Kit. The latency of the original model for processing one image is about 630ms. After accelerating it using our method, the lantency now is about 40ms.

Research

I'm interested in devleoping efficient models for computer vision (e.g. classification, detection, and super-resolution) using pruning, quantization, distilaltion, NAS, etc.
