About Me

I am a researcher and Ph.D. supervisor at the College of Computer Science, Inner Mongolia University. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Technology from Inner Mongolia University in December 2024, advised by Prof. Huaiwen Zhang.

My research focuses on reliable cross-modal semantic learning: understanding and aligning information across text, images, videos, and human motion. I work on multimodal retrieval, learning with imperfect supervision, and generative retrieval, with recent interests in multimodal recommendation and video fact-checking.

Research Interests

  • Multimodal retrieval. Hierarchical and compositional semantic alignment; text–motion retrieval.
  • Reliable learning. Robust supervision calibration, noisy correspondence, and active learning.
  • Generative multimodal intelligence. Generative retrieval, recommendation, and video fact-checking.
