Yingjian Li received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees from Harbin Institute of Technology, China, in 2016, 2018, and 2023, respectively. Now he is an Assistant Research Fellow at Institute of Perceptual Intelligence, Pengcheng Laboratory, Shenzhen, China. His research interests include Model Adaptation and Generalization, Edge-Cloud Collaborative Learning, and Efficient Deep Learning. He has published more than 30 journal (IEEE TIP, TMM, TAFFC, TCSVT, etc.) and conference (ACM-MM) papers. He has won the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award of SZCCF, and served as a reviewer for journals such as IEEE TIP and a member of the program committee of top conferences such as CVPR.
