I am a first-year PhD student majoring in Information Science at the University of Wisconsin Madison, advised by Chaowei Xiao. Previously, I collaborated with Asst. Prof. Lu Chen in the language model group of the XLANCE lab at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

I love playing basketball 🏀 and table tennis 🏓 in my free time. I am also open to collaborating with people to explore the possibilities of language models in various fields.

Research

My research interests are 1️⃣ Multi-modal Large Language Models~(MLLMs). 2️⃣ End-to-end Autonomous Driving System. 3️⃣ Parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) of large-scale Pre-trained Language Models (PLMs).

Projects


CBCT jaw region segmentation method based on context fusion mechanism

♠ National College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program, 2022.

♣ The project was rated as provincial level and I published a patent for an invention as the first inventor (CN115578406A).

Embedding system and deep learning topic, NUS SOC Summer Workshop 2022

♠ Course grade of A+, which was evaluated based on assignments, quizzes, and projects.

First Prize in the course Embedded System and Deep Learning with the final project Baby Care.

Character dialogue system for complex scenarios based on instruction finetuning

♠ National College Students' Innovation and Entrepreneurship Training Program, 2023.

♣ Under the guidance of Prof. Wenqiang Lei, we prompt the language model to imitate a specific character (in this project the character is Sister Jiang, a famous Chinese revolutionary martyr) by instruction fine-tuning.
