Zhedong Zheng works at the University of Technology Sydney, Xiaodong Yang works at at NVIDIA Research, Santa Clara, CA. So you are in fact absolutely right, that they work in countries, Australia and the USA, that as members of the five eyes are involved in illegal mass surveillance. But I’m sure you don’t want to imply that anyone in these 2 countries working for any company is writing software solely with the intention of having it used for mass surveillance.
- rrss 7y agoI don't agree with basing motivations on the appearance of people's names, but it's almost for surveillance by definition, no? Are there non-surveillance use cases for identifying persons of interest across cameras?

- EugeneOZ 7y agoHope you are right and I'm wrong. But by some strange coincidence, most of projects for face-recognition I read about last time are authored by people from China and Russia. Hope it's just coincidence that this group of authors consist from researchers with chinese names (except their chief). World is small.

- whoevercares 7y agoYou should say most CV top paper are authored by people originated from China. If you ever went to CVPR this year you’d know what I’m saying, about 80% of oral paper have Chinese as co-author and the best paper’s first author is a young genius from China. There’s no way you can stop it
- trevyn 7y agoZheng is from Shanghai and has a B.S. from Fudan University, and Yang a Bachelor of Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, and so I don't think it's a stretch to expect that both are also Chinese nationals.
