About Me

I’m Guanyu Zhou, a 3rd year undergrad interested in artificial intelligence.

My current research interests are MLLMs/LLMs (Understanding, Generation, and Reasoning), with a current focus on data. I hope to learn from MLLMs, reflect on its bottlenecks, and explore the prototype of the next generation of intelligent systems. I did a research internship at the NLPGroup of HKUST(GZ), exploring the perceptual flaws of MLLMs. Prior to this, I had an unforgettable research time at AIMlab, where I worked on problems related to video understanding/action recognition.

My ultimate goal is to build a multimodal, scalable, dataset-free, continuously learning, and self-iterating intelligent system. Feel free to email me to discuss issues in related fields!😄
