Lingdong Kong

  PhD Student, NUS


     

     

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, under Prof. Wei Tsang Ooi. I am also closely with Dr. Benoit Cottereau from CNRS, Dr. Lai Xing Ng from A*STAR, and Prof. Ziwei Liu from S-Lab, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

I work in the fields of deep learning and computer vision, with particular focuses on 3D perception, domain adaptation, and visual representation learning.

My research pursues to build robust and scalable perception models that can be generalized across different domains and scenarios, with minimum or no human annotations needed.

I am fortunate to have research attachments and internships at OpenMMLab, ByteDance AI Lab, MMLab@NTU, Motional, and Advanced Digital Sciences Center.
