𝒯𝒾𝒶𝓃 𝒯𝒶𝓃 𝐵𝓊𝒹𝒹𝒽𝒶, 𝐻𝑜𝓃𝑔 𝒦𝑜𝓃𝑔

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at Boston University, under the supervision of Prof. Vijaya Kolachalama. Prior to BU, I received my M.Phil. degree (2023) in Computer Science from City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Shiqi Wang, and B.Eng. degree (2020) in Intelligence Science and Technology from Northeast Electric Power University, supervised by Prof. Yimin Hou, Prof. Jinglei Lv, and Prof. Yang Li. In 2017, I attended a summer school at University of California, Irvine.

𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀: I put all my effort into Multimodal Foundation Models, Reasoning and Problem Solving with Foundation Models, e.g., equip Language Models with strong mathematical reasoning capabilities, Generative Models, and AI for Medicine and Healthcare.

    1. No-reference Image Quality Assessment via Non-local Dependency Modeling

      Shuyue Jia, Dingquan Li, Shiqi Wang
      Poster Slides Codes 🤗 HuggingFace Paper

      IEEE 24th International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (IEEE MMSP'22)

        A no-reference image quality assessment method based on non-local features learned by a graph neural network (GNN). The proposed quality assessment framework is rooted in the view that the human visual system perceives image quality with long-dependency constructed among different regions, inspiring us to explore the non-local interactions in quality prediction.

        Traditional works classify EEG signals without considering the topological relationship among electrodes. Thus, a graph convolutional neural network is presented while cooperating with the functional topological relationship of electrodes.

    3. Deep Feature Mining via Attention-based BiLSTM-GCN for Human Motor Imagery Recognition

      Yimin Hou, Shuyue Jia (Corresponding Author), Xiangmin Lun, Shu Zhang, Jinglei Lv

        This paper presents a novel deep learning approach designed toward both remarkably accurate and responsive motor imagery (MI) recognition based on scalp EEG. Bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) with the attention mechanism is employed, and the graph convolutional neural network (GCN) promotes the decoding performance by cooperating with the topological structure of features.

        We presented a novel approach that could potentially improve the current stroke rehabilitation strategies by implementing a deep learning approach for an Electroencephalogram (EEG) based on MI Brain-Computer Interface System.
        • Constructed 6 convolutional layers, 2 max-pooling layers, and 3 FC layers CNNs for four-class motor imagery classification through TensorFlow, with 50% dropout (spatial dropout after every Conv layer and regular dropout for FC layers) – 11.44% accuracy improvement, batch normalization (BN) – 10.15% improvement, and Short-cut Connection – 1.76% improvement to prevent overfitting, and achieved SOTA results: 94.50% accuracy on scout R5, 94.54% at subject level, and 96% for left fist prediction.
        • Took charge of DNNs design, including methods comparisons, such as MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs, classification results calculations, and programming. 10 and 14 subjects’ data were utilized (19,320 and 27,048 samples in the experiments)
