Feb. 2024:The feature for multi-modal generation based on the algorithm and demo that I designed gained over 246k views on Twitter during my internship at Pika Labs .
Research
I study intelligent agents through multimodal perception, generative models, and world modeling. My previous work explores how different modalities, including vision, audio, and language, interact and emerge in intelligent systems.
Selected Publications
A Unit-based System and Dataset for Expressive Direct Speech-to-Speech Translation
Propose a dataset and pipeline with aligned bilingual audio tracks sharing similar emotions without using text as an intermediate for lesser-spoken languages and dialects.
Projects
Pika 1.5
Core contributor to Pika 1.5, a generative video model enabling text-to-video creation and video editing.
Other Works
Quantifying Geometrical Associations Across Multi-modal Perception: An Information-theoretic Perspective
Study geometric relationships across multimodal representations from an information-theoretic perspective.
When End-to-End is Overkill: Rethinking Cascaded Speech-to-Text Translation
Revisit cascaded speech translation systems and analyze when end-to-end approaches are unnecessary.
