Xinyi Zhao

Graduate student at the University of New South Wales. Experienced in dataset construction, data preprocessing, and applying large-scale models to tasks in computer vision and natural language processing. Participated in projects including pedestrian recognition and detection with YOLO, hate speech detection with BERT and CNN, and multimodal aesthetic evaluation. Background in painting provides an additional interdisciplinary perspective, supporting research that combines technical analysis with creative insight.

• Completed a pedestrian recognition and detection project using the YOLO model during undergraduate studies.
• Participated in a multimodal aesthetic evaluation project, contributing to both dataset construction and evaluation tasks.
• Participated in the development of a hate speech detection model, implementing BERT and CNN architectures.
