Hi there, I'm Siteng Huang (黄思腾 in Chinese)! 👋 You can also call me Kyon Huang.

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at Zhejiang University, advised by Prof. Donglin Wang. Additionally, I am involved in a joint program with Westlake University as a member of Machine Intelligence Laboratory (MiLAB). Currently, I am also a research intern at Alibaba Group. Prior to my Ph.D. career, I received my B.Eng. Degree from School of Computer Science, Wuhan University in 2019.

Expected to obtain the Ph.D. degree in July, 2024.

🔍 Currently, My research has centered on multi-modal large models, especially vision-language models (VLMs), including

• Generation/AIGC: text-to-image/video (T2I/V) generation^ADI,SimM, customized & controllable generation^ADI,SimM, diffusion models^{ADI,SimM,VGDiffZero}, multi-modal large language models (MLLMs)^Cobra
• Understanding: text-video retrieval (TVR)^VoP, compositional zero-shot learning (CZSL)^Troika, few-shot learning (FSL)^AGAM,HTS, visual grounding^{VGDiffZero,DARA}
• Adaptation: parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT/PETL)^VoP,DARA, meta-learning^MRN, transfer learning^PDA
• Embodied AI: foundation models for robotics

I am always looking for related collaborations, and most of them have produced top-level publications. Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested!
