COMP Retreat 2025 cum Research Student Conference (Day 2)

The second day of COMP retreat in 2025 that is the PolyU COMP – HKUST (GZ) INFH Research Student Conference held on 19 Jun 2025. The theme is “The Future in an AI-Driven World”. I selfie before the start of conference. 


Prof. Andy and I arrived the HKUST (GZ) and took a photo for memory.


Registration location is outside the conference hall.


We took a photo in the front-line including Prof. Ken Yiu, Prof. Henry Chan, Prof. Allen Au, Prof. Lui Sha, Prof. Li Qing and Prof. Andy Chun.


In the beginning, Prof. Lionel M. Ni (President, HKUST (Guangzhou)) gave welcome speech.


Then Prof. Chen Changwen and Prof. Li Qing presented souvenir to Prof. Lionel M. Ni.


And then Prof. Lei Chen and Prof. Li Qing gave an opening speech.



Prof. Lei Chen presented souvenir to Prof. Li Qing and Prof. Chen Changwen.


After that Prof. Lei Yang reported the conference information including paper submission, review and decision, as well as, awarding and banquet.


The first keynote speaker was Prof. James T. Kwok and his topic named “Unlock Your Potential Achieving Multiple Goals with Ease”. Firstly, he introduced multi-objective optimization (MOO) and then briefed MOO for efficient Pareto manifold learning and preference-aware model merging. 


Prof. Kwok briefed the problem through LLM response on helpful but harmful and unhelpful but harmless.


Lastly, he concluded to effectively learn trade-off solutions between task and minimal parameter overhead. Some participants asked questions during Q&A.


After the coffee break, we attended the student presentation session “Embodied Intelligence and Robotics”.


I was interested in the topic “AI-assisted Code Generation in Industrial Automation” presented by Mr. Yin Li (DSA Thrust). His research mission is “AI assists human engineers in developing usable trustworthy and controllable programming for automation machinery”.


The second topic I also interested was “CarCVC: Carving Cross-View Consistency for Image-to-3D Generation” presented by Ms. Liang Xinyue. She discussed the challenges such as cross-view inconsistency and low efficiency. Thus, her research objective was to propose a solution enhancing cross-view consistency (CVC) and improved inference efficiency.


After lunch, Prof. Li Qing led us to select the best poster award and we took a group photo for memory.


I selected posters which prepared by Mr. Zhe Hu, Ms. WANG Kaile, Mr. Changhe Song and Ms. LIU Xun.





After finished the poster session, Prof. Li Qing led us to take a group photo in front of the landmark of HKUST (Guangzhou).


In afternoon session, I joined “AI for Science”. Ms. Jiatong Li’s topic was “MolReGPT Families: LLM and In-context Modelcule Learners”. 


Another one was presented by Mr. LIU Yunqing with topic “GLProtein: Global-and Local Structure Aware Protein Representation Learning”. I suggested to cooperate with professors in ABCT dept.


Mr. Weicai Long from HKUST (GZ) presented “MutBERT: Probabilistic Genome Representation Improves Genomics Foundation Models”. I asked how to detect the mutation. 


Finally, we returned to hotel for closing ceremony. Prof. Lei Chen and Prof. Li Qing gave closing speech.



There were ten students got the best poster presentation award.


There were eight students got the best paper presentation award.


Lastly, we had a happy dinner together with COMP department song.
