I am a Ph.D. candidate of MMRC Lab in School of Software, Shandong University. I received B.Eng. from Shandong University in July 2019. My research interests span cross-domain recommendation, cold-start recommendation and multi-media analytics. I have almost 10 publications appeared in several top conferences such as AAAI, IJCAI, Recsys, ICMR, IJCNN, and journals including TOIS, JBI, Journal of Software and CVMJ. Moreover, I have been invited as the TPC/PC member for AAAI, IJCAI, ACMMM and IJCNN and the Session Chair for IJCNN.

We will release a survey on the negative sampling strategies of Recsys:
- Negative Sampling in Recommendation: A Survey and Future Directions
