季威 is a data mining engineering leader with 11 years of experience building large-scale data pipelines and relevance systems, currently managing a team focused on training and scaling AI foundation models at StepFun in Beijing. He spent eight years at Microsoft leading Bing Whole Page Relevance efforts, where he combined data mining, pipeline engineering, and search experience optimization as a tech lead. Early work at Baidu on video vertical search and active contributions to computer-vision research repos (e.g., implementations of ICCV2019 LearningToPaint and ECCV2022 RIFE) show a strong ML/vision applied research bent beyond pure infra. Comfortable shipping production systems and tweaking model architectures, he brings a pragmatic balance of research-minded experimentation and production-grade engineering. Collected in Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, his background blends deep search expertise with hands-on ML model and GPU-centered engineering.

ECCV2022 - Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation for Video Frame Interpolation
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:1 release, 534 commits, 34 PRs in 2 years 2 months
Contributions summary:季威 contributed to the development and implementation of a video frame interpolation model, adding and modifying code for the core model. They introduced a new model based on Real-Time Intermediate Flow Estimation (RIFE) for video frame interpolation, indicated by changes to model architecture files, including Flownet and the addition of contextual and fusion networks. The user focused on integrating and refining deep learning models for computer vision tasks.
ICCV2019 - Learning to Paint With Model-based Deep Reinforcement Learning
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:93 commits, 11 PRs, 163 pushes in 3 years 7 months
Contributions summary:季威 primarily contributed to the codebase by modifying and updating training scripts, model definitions, and test code. Their changes include adjusting file names, merging code, cleaning up codes, updating model parameters, and fixing issues related to GPU usage and model saving. The user also added code to generate and save images, suggesting a focus on the visual output of the painting models. This aligns with the project's goal of learning to paint using deep reinforcement learning.
