Brief Bio:

Hi! My name is Hongyuan Zhu (Chinese: 朱宏远). I am currently a scientist leading the Advanced Perception Reasoning (APR) lab in the Institute of Infocomm Research (I2R), at the Agency for Science, Technology, and Research (A*STAR), Singapore. We do interesting and exiciting research to eveloping intelligent agent that can assist human with multi-modal scene and event knowledge learning and reasoning capabilities under limited and unbalanced resources.
