Ph.D. Student @WHU

About

I am a Ph.D. student (2020-) at Lab. of Intelligent Information Processing, Wuhan University, supervised by Prof. Zhenzhong Chen. Before that, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science at Wuhan University.

Research Interests

I mainly work on designing algorithms that leverage deep probabilistic models, graph neural networks, and causal inference techniques to tackle data mining problems (especially recommendation systems, and multimedia analysis), such as uncertainty, multi-modal fusion, and confounders.
