I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Prof. Wei-Shi Zheng and Prof. Jian-Fang Hu. Prior to that, I received my master’s degree from Harbin Institute of Technology with research in Knowledge Graph and NLP, advised by Prof Yang Liu and Xiaoyan Liu. Currently, my research interests lie in Video-Language Understanding and Generation.
