Biography
I received my B.Sc. degree in June 2015 and M.Sc. degree in June 2018 from
Sichuan University (SCU), majoring in
Basic Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. Since Sept 2018, I become a Ph.D. candidate in the
LAMDA Group led by professor
Zhi-Hua
Zhou.

Research Interests
I am interested in the following topics:
Time Series Analysis
- Recently, I am working on time series forecasting, including lag selection, forecasting in continous fields, and quantitative analysis.
- I also make some efforts on the forecasting theory, including predictable theory, long- and short-term causal system, etc..
Deep Learning
- With Dynamical System. I am interested in exploring the dynamics of various neural systems, such as the spiking neural networks (SNNs). SNNs take into account the time of spike firing rather than simply relying on the accumulated signal strength in conventional neural networks, and thus offering the possibility for modeling time-dependent data.
- With neuroscience-inspired intelligent machines. Recently, we proposed a novel bio-plausible neuron model, the Flexible Transmitter (FT) model. The FT model is inspired by the one-way communication neurotransmitter mechanism in nervous systems, and has the formation of a two-variable two-valued function, which takes the commonly-used MP neuron model as its special case.
