Yu Li 李煜1st-year Ph.D. Student [Github] [Linkedin] [CV] [Google Scholar] |
I am a 1st-year PhD student in the ECE at GWU, advised by Prof.Tian Lan. My primary research focuses LLM fine-tuning and RL. Prior to this, I interned at several labs, where I worked on visual tasks and generative models.
[04/2025] I will be pursuing my ECE PhD supervised by Prof.Tian Lan at GWU. I will mainly explore RL and LLM aspects.
[03/2025] I will join the AGI Lab for a pre-graduation intern, mainly focusing on generative models.
[08/2024] I was awarded the Innova Excellence Scholarship, top 3% in our college.
[05/2024] I was awarded the Innova International Exchange Scholarship, thanks to Dr. Charles Huang and Charles Huang Foundation!

For endoscope medical scenarios, we use the diffusion model for depth estimation. We build a teacher model, set knowledge distillation, optical appearance and ddim losses, and introduce the teacher's discriminative prior, which significantly enhances the accuracy and confidence of the results. |
