Yizeng Han

About

I’m currently at Kling AI, where I work on video generation model pretraining.

During my Ph.D. at Tsinghua University, I studied dynamic neural networks for efficient visual recognition, including early exiting and spatially adaptive computation.

After my Ph.D., I worked on efficient image and video generation at Alibaba DAMO Academy, including dynamic diffusion transformers, few-step distillation, and long-video generation.
