Research Interests
- I am interested in researching human-oriented content creation aided by large models,
with a focus on instructed music and video generation.- An ideal model should accept multimodal inputs and give proper credit to copyrighted materials.
- The composer should retain control over every fine-grained aspect of the final product.
- I am also willing to learn from multiple disciplines, including but not limited to
music theory, high-performance programming, and computer security.
Hobbies
- I love writing neat and elegant code, playing the piano, and composing songs
- I am a content creator on
