About me

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student in the School of Computing, National University of Singapore. I love Mathematics and interpretable models, always trying to discover the underlying mechanism of the problem and building mathematical models with the discovery.

Research

My current research focus is the learning pattern and theory in image-based regression problem (including object counting, depth completion, age estimation), domain adaptation and Graph Neural Networks. My research interests include:

  • Deep Learning

  • Regression Models

  • Math Modeling

  • Machine Learning

News

  • A paper "From Open Set to Closed Set: Supervised Spatial Divide-and-Conquer for Object Counting [paper]" is accepted by IJCV in 2023.

  • An awardee of Google PhD Fellowship 2022.

  • A paper "Discrete-Constrained Regression for Local Counting Models" is accepted by ECCV 2022.
