Research Interest

My research interest lies in broad aspects of Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing. Currenty, I target myself to the following directions:

  • Generative models + X: utilize/learn strong prior knowledge using generative modeling, to faciliate AI problem, including robust AI, robot learning and inverse problem
  • Compositional and Explainable AI: learning Compositional and Explainable representation for deep learning models, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing
Research Experience
  • [2023-current]: Start collaborating with Prof. Animesh Garg, GaTech, on DM+RL
  • [2023-current]: Start collaborating with Prof. Bin Hu, UIUC, on DM+Robustness
  • [2022-current]: Work as a GRA Ph.D. student at FLAIR lab with Prof. Yongxin Chen
  • [2022-2023]: Work as a remote intern at MIT CSAIL, advised by Josh Tenenbaum, Yunzhu Li and Fish Tung
  • [2021-2021]: Work as a research intern at NLC group, Microsoft Research
  • [2021-2022]: Work as a research intern at John Hopcroft Center, advised by Prof. Zhouhan Lin on NLP
