Background
  • Third-year PhD student in Computer Science at Shanghai Jiao Tong University
  • Affiliated with the John Hopcroft Center, supervised by Prof. Shuai Li since September 2022
  • Research interests: diffusion models, deep learning theory, reinforcement learning, and RLHF
  • Currently focusing on theoretical analysis of diffusion models (sampling complexity, statistical complexity, optimization perspective)
  • Exploring the integration of diffusion models and reinforcement learning, e.g., RL-based fine-tuning of diffusion models and using diffusion in offline-to-online RL
