Hi, there! I am Zhengyan Shi, a final-year undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Technology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I am working as a research assistant at SJTU-ReThinkLab, collaborating with Dr. Liangliang Shi, under the advisory of Prof. Junchi Yan. Moreover, I am working as a research intern at Institute of Artificial Intelligence (TeleAI), China Telecom, under the supervision of Dr. Dell Zhang.

Research

I am now interested in the intersection of machine learning and combinatorial optimization (ml4co) field, focusing on new solutions by a combination of diffusion framework and optimal transport. Previouly, I conducted research on self-supervised learning and multimodal learning, specifically on the application of optimal transport algorithms and generative models to graph matching, knowledge distillation and contrastive learning, etc.

To know me better

Hobbies

I am a huge fan of R&B and Cantopop, and Khalil Fong is my favorite singer. Songs of David Tao and Eason Chan also appeal to be a lot. I love singing (also good at, I think😋), because it makes me relaxed at any time. Also, sharing feelings and tastes about music with friends is enjoyable for me.
