Xinyao Liao
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, working with Prof. Angela Yao in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning (CVML) group. My research is on visual generative models and reinforcement learning — in particular autoregressive image and video generation, and methods that let models improve at inference time and through experience.
Before NUS, I studied Computer Science (Information Security) and Philosophy at Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
Interests

Elsewhere
Outside research I read, listen to music, climb, and build small things. I write occasionally on the blog and keep notes on films I've watched.
