Tang Xiaoou (1968 65438+1October 24th -2023 65438+February 15), born in Anshan City, Liaoning Province, is an artificial intelligence scientist, a professor in the Department of Information Engineering of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, an outstanding scholar in the School of Engineering, and the founder and former chairman of Shangtang Technology.
Tang Xiaoou 1990 graduated from China University of Science and Technology; 199 1 received a master's degree from the university of rochester. 1996 received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and then entered the Chinese University of Hong Kong; The Multimedia Laboratory of the Chinese University of Hong Kong was established on 200 1.
From 2005 to 2007, he worked in Microsoft Research Asia as the director of Visual Computing Group. In 2008, he worked in the multimedia integration technology research room of Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology as director and researcher. At 23: 45 on June 65438+February 65438+May 2023, Tang Xiaoou died at the age of 55. Tang Xiaoou is mainly engaged in research in computer vision related fields, including multimedia, computer vision, pattern recognition and video processing.
Academic experience
1992, Tang Xiaoou is studying for a doctorate at MIT. His laboratory explored the underwater world with underwater robots, sonar and visual cameras and found the sunken Titanic. From then on, Tang Xiaoou began to learn the algorithm of face recognition.
After graduating from Ph.D., Tang Xiaoou set up a laboratory in the Chinese University of Hong Kong and continued his research in computer vision related fields. Tang Xiaoou called the accumulation in this period "digging deep holes and accumulating grain widely". When I was working in Microsoft Research Asia, I always felt that I spent too little time with Mingming (Tang Xiaoou's son's nickname) and wanted to record every minute.
Tang Xiaoou wrote in his readme. Every time I see my son, I take a lot of photos. Tang Xiaoou's solution is to "call on everyone to do research on photo management", and then he has done too many topics such as image segmentation and real-time image retrieval technology. Mingming photos are often used in various experimental data of visual computing group. In the past three years, Tang Xiaoou's team has published more than 60 papers at first-class computer vision conferences (ICCV, CVPR, ECCV).
At present, the album management system also has various applications of beauty, and its core technology mostly comes from the extension and expansion of Tang Xiaoou's team face recognition technology. From 2065438 to March 2004, Tang Xiaoou's team released the GaussianFace face recognition algorithm, and the accuracy rate reached 98.52% on the LFW database, which broke through the human eye recognition ability for the first time in the world.
From June 2065438 to June 2004, Tang Xiaoou's laboratory began to publish a series of DeepID algorithms, which gradually improved the accuracy of face recognition to 99.55%. On 20 15, team Tang xiaoou won the bid for China mobile and became the technical partner of real-name registration system certification. Because of the intervention of face recognition technology, the time to process user's real name authentication has increased from five minutes to five seconds.
