Biography
I am a Ph.D. student in computer science at the University of Southern California, advised by Prof. Xuezhe Ma. I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in computer science from Sun Yat-sen University and worked with Prof. Rong Pan.
My research focuses on generative models and efficient training of large models. I am particularly interested in efficient architectures, multimodal models, and large-scale pretraining.
