Research Interests
Our current research interests primarily focus on 1) Multimodal Large Language Models (LLM/MLLM), 2) Vision-Language Understanding and Generation, 3) Embodied AI, and 4) Open-world Visual Understanding. Our mission is to facilitate the learning of unified and universal perception, understanding, reasoning, generation, and interaction within the realm of an open world. We envision that harnessing multimodal information—particularly vision and language—in a unified and generalizable manner, and enabling its deployment in real-world physical interactions, is fundamental to advancing our understanding of the world and fostering the emergence of artificial intelligence.
[Recruitment – Jan 2026] We are seeking Research Interns; applicants should submit their transcript and CV to sibeiyang9@gmail.com with the subject line [Research Intern – Name]. Preference will be given to candidates intending to apply for graduate study in our group.
