I work at Zhejiang Lab as an Associate Researcher now in Hangzhou, leading a fundamental computer vision/machine learning research group. I completed my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Technology from Zhejiang University, co-supervised by Prof. Yueting Zhuang (庄越挺) and Prof. Donghui Wang (王东辉). Before that, I obtained my B.E. degree in the Department of Computer Science and Technology from Qingdao University. I am now working on zero/few-shot learning, open-world learning, long-tailed recognition, object/instance detection and segmentation etc. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at liyn@zhejianglab.com or ynli.zju@gmail.com.
