Yulin Zhao

Happy Life, Happy Research

I'm currently a second-year Ph.D. student at SMULL in the School of Information Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shen Zhen), advised by Prof. Zheng Zhang (Cheung Kong Young Scholar, IET Fellow). I also collaborate closely with Prof. Yadan Luo (SIGMM Rising Star) at The University of Queensland. Prior to this, I received my Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Shandong University and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, respectively.
My current research interests mainly lie in Efficient Inference, Vision-Language Models, and Visual Token Compression. If you are interested in collaborating with me or just want to have a quick chat, feel free to contact me through email.
