Haoliang Zhou 周浩樑
I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at IMAC Lab, Tianjin University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Changsheng Xu and Prof. Feifei Zhang.
Before that, I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Jiangsu University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Shucheng Huang in 2021 and 2024, respectively.
Research Focus
My current research focus
Composed Image Retrieval
Retrieving images from multimodal instructions that combine visual references and natural language modifications.
Multimodal Large Language Models
Exploring perception, grounding, and reasoning paths for visual-language systems with richer interaction signals.
Test-Time Adaptation
Improving model behavior after deployment through uncertainty-aware, continual, and reinforcement-style adaptation.
Affective Computing
Modeling facial and micro-expression cues through cross-modal prompts, contrastive learning, and uncertainty estimates.
