Biography
Hi, I am Huanqia Cai, a researcher at Alibaba Tongyi Lab. My research interests lie in multimodal understanding and generation. Currently, I am focused on leveraging reinforcement learning to enhance the visual fidelity of image generation and the complex reasoning capabilities of multimodal models.
I received my master's degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). During my graduate studies, I was fortunate to intern under the supervision of Dr. Wei Liu.
Prior to joining Alibaba, I worked at Tencent, where I served as a core contributor to the Tencent Hunyuan Vision Language Model under the guidance of Dr. Han Hu.
