Li Zhang received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 2009. From 2009 to 2011, she held a post-doctoral position at the Institute of Digital Media, Peking University, Beijing. From 2011 to 2018, she was a Senior Staff Engineer at Qualcomm, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA. She is currently the Head of Advanced Video Group, Bytedance Inc., San Diego, CA, USA. Her research interests include 2D/3D image/video coding, video processing, and transmission. She was a Software Coordinator for Audio and Video Coding Standard (AVS) and the 3D extensions of High-Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). She has authored 450+ standardization contributions, 170+ granted US patents, 90+ technical articles in related book chapters, journals, and proceedings in image/video coding and video processing. She has been an active contributor to the Versatile Video Coding (VVC), Advanced AVS, the IEEE 1857, 3D Video (3DV) coding extensions of H.264/AVC and HEVC, and HEVC screen content coding extensions. During the development of those video coding standards, she co-chaired several ad hoc groups and core experiments. She has been appointed as an Editor of AVS, the Main Editor of the Software Test Model for 3DV Standards. She organized/co-chaired multiple special sessions and grand challenges at various conferences. She is a Senior member of IEEE, serves as associate editors in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (T-CSVT), Publicity Subcommittee Chair of the Technical Committee member of Visual Signal Processing and Communications in IEEE CAS Society (VSPC TC).

Jizheng Xu received a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong University, China in 2011. He joined Microsoft Research Asia in 2003 and served as a Research Manager and joined ByteDance multimedia lab as a Research Scientist in 2018. He has authored and co-authored over 140 refereed conference and journal refereed papers. His research interests include image and visual signal representation, image/video compression and communication, computer vision, and deep learning. He has been an active contributor to ISO/MPEG and ITU-T video coding standards, including H.264/AVC, H.265/HEVC, and VVC/H.266. He initiated the screen content coding in H.265/HEVC and was a major technical contributor. He chaired and co-chaired the ad-hoc group of exploration on wavelet video coding in MPEG, and various technical ad-hoc groups in JCT-VC, e.g., on screen content coding, on parsing robustness, on lossless coding. He was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology from 2018 to 2020. He served as a Guest Editor for the special issue on Screen Content Video Coding and Applications of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems in 2016. He co-organized and co-chaired special sessions on scalable video coding, directional transform, high-quality video coding at various conferences.

Kai Zhang received a B.S. degree in computer science from Nankai University, Tianjin, China, in 2004. In 2011, he received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. From 2011 to 2012, he worked as a researcher in Tencent Inc. Beijing, China. From 2012 to 2016, he worked as a technical manager then a team manager in Mediatek Inc. Beijing, China, leading a research team to propose novel technologies to emerging video coding standards. In 2016, he joined Qualcomm Inc. San Diego, CA. Since 2018, he has been doing research work on video coding as a senior research scientist in Bytedance Inc. San Diego, CA. Dr. Zhang’ research interests include video/image compression, coding, processing and communication, especially video coding standardization. In 2006, he proposed his first proposal to JVT. From then, he has contributed more than 300 proposals to JVT, VCEG, JCT-VC, JCT-3V, JVET, and AVS team, covering many important aspects of major standards such as H.264/AVC SVC extension, HEVC, 3D-HEVC, VVC and AVS. During the development of VVC, Dr. Zhang co-chaired several core experiments and branch of groups. Currently, Dr. Zhang serves as a coordinator of the reference software known as ECM in JVET, to explore video coding technologies beyond VVC. Dr. Zhang has 300+ granted or pending U.S. patents applications, which are mostly essential to popular video coding standards. Dr. Zhang has authored/co-authored 30+ papers on well-known journals/conferences such as T-IP, T-CSVT, T-B, JETCAS, ICIP, ISCAS, etc. Dr. Zhang is an Associate Editor of IET Image Processing. Dr. Zhang also serves as a reviewer for many journals/conferences.

Yue Li received a B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 2014 and 2019, respectively. He is currently a Research Scientist with Bytedance Multimedia Lab, San Diego, CA, USA. His research interests include image/video coding and processing. He has authored 10+ neural network-based standardization contributions to the Versatile Video Coding (VVC).
