Hi, welcome! I'm Weijia, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computing Science at the University of Alberta, Canada, supervised by Professor Anup Basu. Previously, I earned my master's degree at the Computer Vision Institute (CVI) of Shenzhen University, under the supervision of Professor Qiufu Li. The institute's principal investigator (PI) is Professor Linlin Shen. My research focuses on representation learning and visual recognition tasks. Currently, I'm exploring multimodal learning, vision-language models, Reinforcement Learning and their applications in scene understanding, and autonomous driving systems. If you are interested in my research or would like to collaborate, please feel free to reach out: weijia dot fan at ualberta dot ca. OR weijia dot fan at partner dot kit dot edu.

More than the Sum: Panorama-Language Models for Adverse Omni-Scenes
Weijia Fan, Ruiping Liu, Jiale Wei, Yufan Chen, Junwei Zheng*, Zichao Zeng, Jiaming Zhang*, Qiufu Li, Linlin Shen, Rainer Stiefelhagen IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2026. Paper: arXiv:2603.09573 | Code: github.com/InSAI-Lab/PanoVQA
BCE3S: Binary Cross-entropy based Tripartite Synergistic Learning for Long-tailed Recognition
Weijia Fan, Qiufu Li*, Jiajun Wen, Xiaoyang Peng Proceedings of the 40th AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-26). Paper: arXiv:2511.14097 | Code: github.com/WakingHours-GitHub/BCE3S We propose a BCE-based tripartite synergistic learning (BCE3S) that enhances sample feature compactness, classifier separability, and balance between head and tail classes in long-tailed recognition tasks, achieving high accuracy on imbalanced datasets.
EPL: Empirical Prototype Learning for Deep Face Recognition
Weijia Fan, Jiajun Wen, Xi Jia, Linlin Shen, Jiancan Zhou, Qiufu Li* Paper: arXiv:2405.12447 | Code: github.com/WakingHours-GitHub/EPL We propose an Empirical Prototype Learning (EPL) method designed to mitigate performance degradation caused by hard samples tending to deviate the prototype away from the ideal class center.

Exploring thematic influences on theme park visitors' satisfaction: An empirical study on Disneyland China
Shizhen Bai, Hao He, Chunjia Han*, Mu Yang, Dingyao Yu, Xinrui Bi, Brij B. Gupta*, Weijia Fan, Prabin Kumar Panigrahi Journal of Consumer Behaviour 23 (1), 90-106 we analyze user-generated data using structural topic modeling to explore the impact of themes on visitor satisfaction at Shanghai Disneyland, revealing dynamic changes in visitor focus and the diminishing correlation between reviews and ratings over time, offering valuable insights into consumer behavior and tourism research.
What makes a theme park experience less enjoyable? Evidence from online customer reviews of Disneyland China
Shizhen Bai, Hao He, Chunjia Han, Mu Yang*, Xinrui Bi,Weijia Fan Frontiers in Psychology 14, 1120483 we leverage structural topic modeling and sentiment analysis on 112,000 reviews of Shanghai Disneyland to uncover key factors behind visitors’ dissatisfaction, providing insights into addressing issues like parking, service attitude, and entry processes to improve theme park management and visitor experience. |
