I obtained my PhD degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), 2019. My supervisors are Prof. Lionel M. Ni and Prof. James T. Kwok. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor degree in School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University, 2014. Now I am working at Baidu Research. I have been selected for the world's top 2% scientists list (single year) by Stanford University and Elsevier company on 2024.
Recently, I am mainly working on few-shot learning (FSL) and meta-learning methods and their application to diverse application scenarios:
Our team maintains PaddleFSL, a Python toolkit for FSL built upon PaddlePaddle. PaddleFSL provides various FSL solutions which are applicable to diverse applications. Please see the paper for details.
