About

Baiyuan Chen

I am beginning an MPhil in Data Intensive Science at Cambridge. Previously, I started graduate studies at the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Yutaka Matsuo, and I am currently on a one-year leave from UTokyo to pursue my studies at Cambridge. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Mathematical Sciences with a minor in Cognitive Science from UTokyo, graduating as the Department Valedictorian. I was fortunate to be advised by Masaaki Imaizumi and had the pleasure of collaborating with Shinji Ito.

Previously, I worked on deep learning theory, focusing on the topological and dynamical properties of machine learning models. Currently, my research centers on generative models—particularly video generation. I am especially interested in long-time video generation and reconstructing visual content from brain activity.

Beyond Academia

Beyond my research, I’m fascinated by mathematics, cognitive science, art, and Chinese philosophy. I enjoy exploring the connections among these areas and how they shape my perspective.

I also love watching dramas, anime, and films, as well as bouldering, snowboarding, reading, volunteering, and photography. Some of my photos are available here.
