Nice to meet you! I am Yihao Meng (่็ฅๆ), currently a second year Ph.D. student in HKUST, at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Huamin Qu. Before joining HKUST, I obtained my B.S. degree in Artificial Intelligence (Honor class in Qian Xuesen College) from Xiโan Jiaotong University in 2023. My research is supported by the prestigious Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme.
My research interests lie in video generation and world model.
