About Me

I am an Artificial Intelligence Research Fellow with DeepLearning Lab at Ant Research Institute, which is under the leadership of CTO Zhengyu He. My research benefits from collaboration with esteemed colleagues including Dr. Jianguo Li, Dr. Yaohui Li, Dr. Zhangxuan Gu, Dr. Yan Hong, and Scientist Zhuoer Xu.

I pursued my M.E. in Automation and Artificial Intelligence Group at Nanjing University (NJU), where I was mentored by Prof. Chunlin Chen and Prof. Huaxiong Li. My B.E. was obtained at Southeast University (SEU). My research interests include few-shot learning, image generation, self-supervised learning, computer vision, and machine learning. Currently, I focus on Representation Learning, AIGC, and Learning with Limited Data.

Research Interest

I work in the field of few-shot learning, image generation, self-supervised learning, computer vision and machine learning. Currently, I focus on the following research topics:

Representation Learning: Representation learning aims to discover abstract descriptions of concepts. Specifically, Haoxing focuses on enhancing the universality of the model through self-supervised learning and multimodal learning.
AIGC: How to design better defense systems to deal with generated attacks has gained extensive attention in recent years. Specifically, Haoxing trys to generate more realistic images and design better detection methods with multi-modal learning.
Learning with Limited Data: The ability of a model to fit with limited data is essential and necessary due to the instance/label collection cost. How to extract and utilize knowledge from related tasks and domains is the key. Specifically, Haoxing mainly works on how to learn meta-knowledge for zero-/few-shot learning.
