Research Experiences

Jul 2023 – Present Humanoid Pianist

Advisor: Pro. Huazhe XU, Assistant Professor at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University

A robot is trained by manifold and RL to play the piano.

I expect to learn the research method in this project.

Apr 2023 – Jun 2023 Game Theoretic Model

A project of Game Theory course.

Leading Instructor: Pro. Zhixuan FANG, Assistant Professor at Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Tsinghua University

Extended the algorithm in the paper Deployed armor protection: the application of a game theoretic model for security at the Los Angeles international airport

The paper uses a Bayesian Stackelberg game model with a single type of leader and multiple types of followers, and reduced it to an MILP (mixed-integer linear programming) to solve it. In this project, we extended the algorithm to solve Bayesian Stackelberg games with multiple types of leaders and followers, and examined the performance.

Result: Wrote a paper Extension of the Game Theoretic Model for Security at the International Airport

Dec 2019 – Jun 2020 Fractional Cascading Algorithm

An IOI National Training Team Homework.

Examined the use of Fractional cascading in a Classic Partition Problem.

Result: Published a paper On the Optimization of a Classic Partition Problem Using Fractional Cascading Algorithm in IOI2020 National Training Team Paper Collection . Became the IOI National Team member by defend of the paper and 6 contests.
