Yikai LIAO

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where I am researching Continual Learning under the guidance of Prof. Ying Wei.

My research interests lie in machine learning, particularly in continual learning, compositional learning and model model merging. I aim to create models with high efficiency in both training and inference, while also mastering multiple personalized tasks.

Previously, I co-founded an AI music company, Nanjing Qiyin Technology Co. Ltd., where we successfully completed a million-level seed round financing and received the National Gold Medal for our Boya AI Music Project at the 7th China College Students “Internet+” Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.

Although I no longer focus my efforts on AI music generation, I still maintain a high-performance Python library for symbolic music data preprocessing in my spare time, as a contribution to the AI music open-source community.
