About

I am Gengqi Yang, a Research Assistant at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, supervised by Prof. Hongxia Yang. My research interests include large language models and multimodal retrieval-augmented generation.

I received my master's degree from the Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I was advised by Prof. Dayan Wu. Prior to that, I received my bachelor's degree from Hebei University of Technology.
