Menglin Yang
Assistant Professor @ HKUST(GZ)
About
Background. I am currently an assistant professor at Thrust of Artificial Intelligence at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), HKUSTGZ. I am also an Affiliated Assistant Professor at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong. I was a Postdoc at Yale University, working with Prof. Rex Ying. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Irwin King (IEEE & ACM Fellow).
Information about PhD student recruitment can be found on pages in Chinese Version, or English Version.

Research Interests. My research is primarily focused on exploring the connection and alignment between the learning space, especially the hyperbolic space, and the underlying geometries, structures, and patterns in different types of data.
Recently, I have been working on the following topics:
(1) Multi-modal LLMs & LLMs(Peft, RAG, Agent, RL) and non-Euclidean LLMs
(2) Hyperbolic Representation Learning, Differential Geometry, and Hierarchical Modeling
(3) Recommender Systems, Personalization, Knowledge graph, and Network sciences
(4) Graph Learning and LLM4SCI
I am looking for self-motivated (visiting) Ph.D. students / (remote) research assistants to work with me on the above topics. GPUs and Salaries are provided to qualified candidates. Any interested applicants can directly send me your CV and a brief introduction to your research interest to my email:

New papers, blogs, and books on hyperbolic representation and deep learning topics are shared in the following slack channel and GitHub repo. Welcome to join and share more on this fascinating research:
