Research Intern at Sony

Jun 2023 - Sep 2023, Tokyo

During this internship at Creative AI Lab at Sony, I extend my research scope to NLP for cross-modal representation learning. I proposed BiAug to mitigate reporting bias problem in visual-language datasets with bimodal augmentation.

Research Intern at Microsoft

Oct 2021 - Jan 2022, Beijing

I proposed PCL at EMNLP 2022 that tackles the bias problem in the sentence embeddings during the internship. The codes and models can be found at https://github.com/qiyuw/PeerCL

Research Intern at Microsoft Research Asia
