About Me
I am currently a researcher at MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab in Cambridge, MA, USA. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science at The University of Hong Kong. I studied at the Computer Vision Lab, advised by Dr. Kenneth K.Y. Wong. I got my B.Sc. from Sun Yat-sen University in 2016.
My interests are centered around machine learning and its applications to computer vision and natural language processing. Current research topics include dynamic visual reasoning, multimodal learning, and image retrieval.
