⛹️‍♂️Ji-Zhe Zhou (周吉喆)🏊‍♂️, Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, Sichuan University. I obtained my Ph.D. (early graduation) from the University of Macau in 2021. My primary research areas are the self-supervised learning theories and multimedia content security. I am the first or corresponding author for many top conferences and IEEE transactions, including ICCV, NIPS, ACM MM, ACL, IJCAI, AAAI, etc,. Four of them are oral papers, 1 in ICCV, 3 in ACM MM. My publication recieved a total citations.
