I graduated from Southeast University with B.S. in GIS. I got my Ph.D. degree from National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, Chinese Academy of Sciences, supervised by Prof. Stan Z. Li and Prof. Zhen Lei, work closely with Associate Prof. Xiangyu Zhu, where I mainly research on face&vision, (e.g., 3DDFA, 3DDFA_V2). From July 2021 to March 2025, I worked on GenAI (e.g., LivePortrait) in KlingTeam, Kwai Technology. I am currently with ByteDance, focusing on multimodal GenAI (e.g., Lance).

Decomposed Meta Batch Normalization for Fast Domain Adaptation in Face Recognition


Jianzhu Guo, Xiangyu Zhu, Zhen Lei, Stan Z. Li
TIFS (IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security) (Accepted)
paper /

This paper proposes a novel training remedy by decomposing the model into the weight parameters and the BN statistics in the training phase. Based on decomposing, we design a novel framework via meta-learning, called Decomposed Meta Batch Normalization (DMBN) for fast domain adaptation in face recognition.

Searching for Alignment in Face Recognition


Xiaqing Xu, Qiang Meng, Yunxiao Qin, Jianzhu Guo, Chenxu Zhao, Feng Zhou, Zhen Lei
AAAI 2021
arxiv / paper / poster /

This paper proposes an efficient method Face Alignment Policy Search (FAPS) to search the optimal alignment template in face recognition. A well-designed benchmark is also proposed to evaluate the searched policy.

Beyond 3DMM Space: Towards Fine-grained 3D Face Reconstruction


Xiangyu Zhu, Fan Yang, Di Huang, Chang Yu, Hao Wang, Jianzhu Guo, Zhen Lei, Stan Z. Li
ECCV 2020
paper / code /

This paper constructs a new dataset Fine-Grained 3D face (FG3D) with 200k samples for training, and proposes a Fine-Grained reconstruction Network (FGNet) concentrating on shape modi cation by warping the network input and output to the UV space. FG3D is available at https://github.com/XiangyuZhu-open/Beyond3DMM.

Learning Meta Face Recognition in Unseen Domains


Jianzhu Guo, Xiangyu Zhu, Chenxu Zhao, Dong Cao, Zhen Lei, Stan Z. Li
CVPR 2020 (Oral Presentation, acceptance rate 5%)
arxiv / paper / code /

We propose a novel face recognition method via meta-learning named Meta Face Recognition (MFR) to learn a generalized model performing well on unseen domains. Besides, we propose two benchmarks for generalized face recognition evaluation. The proposed benchmarks will be available at https://github.com/cleardusk/MFR.

Domain Balancing: Face Recognition on Long-Tailed Domains


Dong Cao, Xiangyu Zhu, Xingyu Huang, Jianzhu Guo, Zhen Lei
CVPR 2020
arxiv / paper /

This paper proposes a Domain Frequency Instructor (DFI), a light weighted Residual Balancing Mapping (RBM) block and a Domain Balancing Margin (DBM) to improve generalization on tailed domains.

Improving Face Anti-Spoofing by 3D Virtual Synthesis


Jianzhu Guo, Xiangyu Zhu, Jinchuan Xiao, Zhen Lei, Genxun Wan, Stan Z. Li
International Conference On Biometrics, ICB 2019 (Oral Presentation, acceptance rate 11.2%)
arxiv / paper /

We present a method to synthesize virtual spoof data in 3D space to improve face anti-spoofing. The synthetic virtual samples can significantly boost the anti-spoofing performance when combined with a proposed data balancing strategy.
