Xuyang Liu (刘旭洋)
🌈 I am a second-year Master’s student at Sichuan University, supervised by Prof. Honggang Chen. I will soon join Ant Group as a research intern in Hangzhou, focusing on GUI Agent. Previously, I completed an 8-month internship at Taobao & Tmall Group in Beijing, working on Efficient MLLM. I’ve also spent half a year visiting MiLAB at Westlake University, supervised by Prof. Donglin Wang. I am very glad to be supervised and collaborated with Dr. Siteng Huang from DAMO Academy and Asst. Prof. Linfeng Zhang from SJTU.
📌 My research interests span Efficient Vision-Language Models, including:
- Efficient Inference: GlobalCom2, FiCoCo, ToCa, Sparse-Tuning
- Efficient Transfer: M2IST, V-PETL Bench, VGDiffZero, DARA, Sparse-Tuning, AutoGnothi
📢 Recently, I am mainly focusing on Token Reduction for Model Compression. Feel free to reach out to me via Email liuxuyang@stu.scu.edu.cn
, if you are interested in collaborating with me. 🙋 I’m actively seeking Ph.D. position in 2026 Fall!
