About
Hello! I’m Zhongxing Zhang, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities), where I am advised by Prof. Jaideep Srivastava. My research interests include Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Computational Social Science, particularly in human behavior analysis and social computing. Prior to that, I received my Master and Bachelor degrees in Shandong University of Finance and Economics, where I was advised by Prof. Hui Liu.
Research Interests
- Image Restoration: Innovating approaches to enhance image quality and recover image details.
- Image Super-resolution: Developing algorithms for improving image resolution using low-rank prior and probability-inducing nuclear norm minimization.
- Multimodality Data Analytics: Exploring techniques for multimodal data sources, including textual, visual, and behavioral data, to uncover complex patterns.
- Computational Social Science: Leveraging computational models to analyze social behaviors, interactions, and networks, with applications in misinformation detection, social network analysis, and online content veracity classification.
