About Me

I was a research scientist at JD Explore Academy (JDEA), JD.com Inc, led by Dr. Xiaodong He and Prof. Dacheng Tao. Before that, I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2021, advised by Prof. Zheng-Jun Zha. From May 2018 to May 2019, I was a visiting student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), working with Associate Prof. Hanwang Zhang.

Research Interests

My research revolves around the exciting field of Multi-Modality Learning (MML) and its practical applications. I am driven by the ambition to develop an artificial general intelligence (AGI) that can effectively represent and comprehend information from diverse modalities, enabling it to make informed decisions. Within the realm of MML, I aim to bridge the gap between different modalities, unlock the full potential of multimodal data, and explore various research areas that contribute to this overarching goal, including:

• Multi-Modality Representation
  • Image self-supervised learning (SemMAE[NeurIPS'22])
  • Video representation learning (VSP[CVPR'23])
• Multi-Modality Alignment
  • Visual grounding (NMTree[ICCV'19], RvG-Tree[TPAMI'21], TransVG++[TPAMI'23])
  • Cross-modal retrieval (TCP[ICCV'23], SSN[AAAI'24], CMI[arXiv'23])
• Multi-Modality Generation
  • Visual captioning (CAVP[MM'18, TPAMI'21], POS-SCAN[CVPR'20], RMN[IJCAI'20], CBT[arXiv'22], Prefix-Captioning[arXiv'23])
  • Image generation (TwFA[CVPR'22], DualCycleDiffsion[TCSVT'23], MMoT[IJCV'24]), Cocktail🍸[NeurIPS'23])
• Multi-Modality Decision-Making
  • Visual question answering (CMCL[arXiv'22])
  • Vision-language navigation (ESceme[arXiv'23])
