About Me
Jr-Jen Chen (Jacky)
Deep Learning Researcher
Hi, I'm Jr-Jen Chen, a master's student in the Vision and Learning Lab (VLLab) at National Taiwan University's Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering. I'm advised by Prof. Yu-Chiang Frank Wang and previously collaborating
with Yen-Chun Chen from Microsoft on multi-modal large language models and video understanding. Currently, I work closely with Prof. Yilun Du on the topic of compositional generative model for robotic manipulation tasks. My research interests lie in the intersection of deep learning, computer vision reasoning, and robotics.
I'm actively seeking PhD position in this field starting from 2026 fall. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any opportunities!
Research Interests:
Enabling robots to imagine, reason, and learn continually like humans.
