About • Guantao Chen

Hi! This is Guantao Chen, a passionate undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at Sun Yat-sen University. I am deeply interested in the field of artificial intelligence, particularly in the area of efficient diffusion transformers.

I have been actively involved in research projects and have published several papers in top-tier conferences. My research focuses on developing novel techniques to enhance the efficiency of diffusion transformers, which are a class of deep learning models that have shown great promise in various applications.

In addition to my research pursuits, I am also an avid traveler and enjoy exploring cultures around the world. I believe that traveling broadens one's perspective and inspires creativity, which in turn can fuel innovative research ideas.

Feel free to explore my website to learn more about my research, publications, and travels. If you have any questions or would like to collaborate on research projects, please do reach out!
