Hi there! My name is Yang Qin (秦é³). Iām a Ph.D. candidate (since 2021) at the College of Computer Science, Sichuan University, fortunately advised by Prof. Dezhong Peng and Prof. Peng Hu. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Xi Peng and Prof. Joey Tianyi Zhou. From May to December 2024, I worked as a research intern at Alibaba Cloud Apsara Lab (led by Jieping Ye), where I conducted research on code LLMs and participated in the project of OlympicGPT. From June to September 2025, I conducted research on Agentic Deep Research at Ant Group. In 2026, I also worked in Tencent Hunyuan Multimodal Department, where I conducted research on multimodal agents.
My pursuits center on multimodal learning and large language models, with an emphasis on advancing robustness and cross-modal understanding in AI systems:
- Multimodal Learning š: Multimodal Fusion & Cross-modal Learning > Investigating multimodal fusion mechanisms and cross-modal representation learning paradigm to enable coherent integration of heterogeneous data sources;
- Robust Machine Learning š¦¾: Noisy Correspondence & Label in Multimodal Learning > Addressing challenges posed by noisy correspondence and labels in multimodal datasets, making efforts towards a unified noise-resilient multimodal learning framework;
- Large Language Models š¤: Code LLMs & Application of MLLMs/LLMs > Exploring open-generation (e.g., code) capabilities and multimodal extensions for real-world applications, including interactive learning and domain-specific knowledge adaptation.
If you are interested in collaborating with me or want to have a chat, please feel free to contact me via email (Any way you like).
