Peiwen Sun

I am a Researcher at BUPT, focused on machine learning for emotion/sentiment understanding and multimodal understanding. After completing my undergraduate studies at BUPT, I was recommended to pursue a master's degree in the Department of Artificial Intelligence at the same institution. I have worked closely with Di Hu from Renmin University of China and Wei Xue from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. I am heading to my PhD in the future.

I used to be an intern at Megvii and Tencent to do research on multimodal understanding and generation.
