👨‍🎓 Profile

Hou Yaxin

Ph.D. Student · Machine Learning · Southeast University

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Southeast University, under the supervision of Prof. Yuheng Jia. I received my M.S. degree from Henan University in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Chongsheng Zhang. Before that, I obtained my B.S. degree in 2020 from Henan University of Engineering. My research interests lie in machine learning, with a focus on long-tailed learning, weakly supervised learning, and vision-language models.
