Information for Intelligent Action
I’m a first-year Ph.D. student at HKUST (Guangzhou), advised by Prof. Yuxuan Liang. I study information for intelligent action.
I study how intelligent systems learn, retain, and use information from observations and experience to understand changing environments and guide action. My work draws on sequence modeling, memory, and multimodal learning.
Learning what matters for intelligent action.
Used narrative memory, shared references and review feedback to guide generation and maintain cross-shot continuity.
Designed and pretrained UTP to learn transferable representations from variable-length history for probabilistic forecasting.
A missing cup offers a way into memory and the next action.
Led video-agent architecture for AI short-drama production, using narrative memory, shared references, and review feedback to guide generation and preserve continuity.
Designed and pretrained temporal models for cross-domain forecasting, learning transferable representations from variable-length history for probabilistic forecasting.
Adapted pretrained temporal models to Ascend and evaluated them against reproduced baselines on telecommunications and power forecasting datasets.
Benchmarked and commissioned HPC nodes, then used MPI profiling to optimize the interconnect topology of four newly installed nodes, reducing MPI communication time by approximately 20%.
