National University of Singapore

Greetings! I am currently a Postdoc at the Institute of Data Science, National University of Singapore, working with Prof. See-Kiong Ng. Before that, I received my PhD degree at Fuzhou University, supervised by Prof. Wenzhong Guo and Prof. Shiping Wang. From Oct 2021 to Oct 2022, I am a visiting student in the School of Data Science, Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen), China, supervised by Prof. Jicong Fan. From Jan 2023 to June 2023, I am a visiting student in the Cooperative AI Lab, King’s College London, UK, supervised by Prof. Yali Du. My research interests include anomaly detection, deep clustering, graph neural networks, and generative models . My studies have led to over 20 scientific publications on top-tier conferences and journals, including ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, AAAI, IJCAI, ACM MM, IEEE TMM, PR, etc.
