Kang He (何慷)
I am a PhD student at Wuhan University and Shanghai Innovation Institute (SII), supervised by Prof. Donghong Ji and Prof. Xipeng Qiu. I received my BS from the School of Computer Science, Wuhan University (advised by Prof. Mang Ye) and my MS from the School of Cyber Science and Engineering, Wuhan University (advised by Prof. Donghong Ji).
My research interests include multimodal sentiment analysis, world models, and reasoning in large language models.
