Peize Sun is a computer vision-focused ML engineer and PhD candidate at The University of Hong Kong, now a Member of Technical Staff at xAI with six years of research and engineering experience. They have held research roles at Meta and internships at ByteDance, Cruise and MEGVII, contributing across both industry-scale systems and academic projects. An active open-source contributor, Peize implemented core tracking modules for the widely-cited ByteTrack (ECCV 2022) and fixed inference and loss issues in SparseR-CNN (CVPR 2021), demonstrating expertise in multi-object tracking, association strategies and production-ready inference. Based in Hong Kong Island, they bridge algorithmic rigor with pragmatic engineering to optimize model robustness and deployment.

End-to-End Object Detection with Learnable Proposal, CVPR2021
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:1 release, 2 reviews, 72 commits in 9 months
Contributions summary:Peize primarily contributed to the object detection model within the SparseR-CNN project. They focused on bug fixes related to the inference process and focal loss, and modified input image formats to RGB. This demonstrates a focus on model refinement and ensuring the code runs as intended. The user also updated the codebase to align with existing conventions.
[ECCV 2022] ByteTrack: Multi-Object Tracking by Associating Every Detection Box
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer & ML Engineer
Contributions:110 commits in 1 month
Contributions summary:Peize implemented `cstrack.py`, `cstrack_new.py` and modified other associated files, indicating a focus on the core tracking functionality. The files suggest implementation of object tracking algorithms, potentially involving Kalman filters and related matching strategies. The changes directly relate to the core purpose of the project (multi-object tracking), suggesting development and enhancement of the tracking algorithms.
