Jiaya Jia (Chinese: 贾佳亚) is a tenured professor of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK).[1] He is an IEEE Fellow, the associate editor-in-chief of one of IEEE’s flagship and premier journals- Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), as well as on the editorial board of International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV).[2]
Early life and education
Jiaya Jia joined CUHK in 2004 as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate and full professor in 2010 and 2015 respectively. He obtained his PhD degree in computer science jointly from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Microsoft Research in 2004. From March 2003 to August 2004, he was a visiting scholar at Microsoft. He conducted collaborative research at Adobe Research in 2007.[3]
Career
Jiaya Jia is a distinguished scientist in the fields of computer vision and artificial intelligence. His research team at CUHK, DV Lab, is one of the largest vision AI research teams in the world and has been making significant contribution to advanced development of computer vision algorithms and technologies with focuses on image/video understanding, detection and segmentation, multi-modal AI, computational imaging, practical optimization, and advanced learning for visual content since 2000. Jiaya Jia has published 200+ top papers and was cited 30,000+ times on Google Scholar. 40+ PhDs and fellows from this group are now active in academia and industry, and have become prominent AI tech leaders as professors, directors in major research labs, and founders of several successful startups.
Jiaya Jia assumes the position of associate editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI) since 2021 and is the first associate editor-in-chief in 42 years since the journal was published. He is also on the editorial board of International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). Furthermore, Jiaya Jia has served as the area chair of ICCV, CVPR, AAAI, ECCV, and several other premium international AI conferences for years. He was on program committees of major conferences in graphics and computational imaging, including ICCP, SIGGRAPH, and SIGGRAPH Asia, as well as review committee for international authoritative journals.[4]
Research
The research areas of Jiaya Jia are computer vision, machine learning, and computational imaging, which includes Semantic segmentation and instance segmentation, image recognition and classification, 3D detection, segmentation and reconstruction, filtering, deblurring and super-resolution, motion estimation, depth estimation, and general image matching.[1]
Jiaya Jia has made outstanding contributions to computer vision technology, algorithms and engineering, and is among the world's leading experts in the field. His research partners include numerous renowned multinational technology companies, such as Microsoft, Qualcomm, Adobe, Intel, NVIDIA, Amazon, Lenovo and Huawei. Jia has cultivated a number of outstanding talents with Master's and PhDs who continue to engage in scientific research and development in computer vision.[3]
Many technologies in image analysis and processing developed by Jiaya Jia are still leading in the field worldwide. Wherein, his achievements in image deblurring, filtering, image sparse processing, multi-band image signal fusion and enhancement, large range motion estimation, texture and structure-based layering, etc. have been published in the industry's most influential conferences and publications, and implemented in the real-world applications. These achievements have demonstrated outstanding performance in established systems, and most of which are open source so as to enable wider applications across industries such as aviation, medical imaging, safety management, robotic design, meteorological analysis and many more.
