🧍‍♂️ Biography

Hello, My name is Yu-Fan (Van) Lin. I am a master’s student with the Advanced Computer Vision Laboratory (ACVLAB) at the Institute of Data Science, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan. I actively participate in various competitions and research projects as part of the ACVLAB team.

Previously, I earned my bachelor’s degree from the Department of Applied Mathematics at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), where I engaged in multiple projects during my undergraduate studies. You can find my resume here (last updated June 22, 2025). Currently, my research focuses on deep learning.

My primary research interests include:

• Multimodal Learning
• Image/Video Processing

I am also enthusiastic about exploring other cutting-edge fields in artificial intelligence and data science. I actively seek opportunities for collaboration—let’s connect and share ideas to push boundaries together!
