Hi, my name is Yuhao Wang. I am a third-year PhD candidate at School of Data Science at City University of Hong Kong, China. It’s my honor to be supervised by Prof. Xiangyu Zhao and work with fellows in Applied Machine Learning Lab.

Research

I have a broad interest in data science and artificial intelligence. My current research mainly focuses on Recommender System, especially Large Language Model for recommendation, multi-modal recommendation, and multi-scenario modeling.
