About Me

Hi! I’m (Ryan) Yuanhuiyi Lyu, a Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Xuming Hu, Prof. Linfeng Zhang @ SJTU, and Prof. Ying-Cong Chen. Previously, I obtained my B.ENG in Artificial Intelligence from Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Zhenghao Liu

Currently, I focus on:
