Hi! I am Jianing Yin (殷佳宁 in Chinese), a third-year Ph.D. candidate at the State Key Lab of CAD&CG, Zhejiang University. As a member of ZJUIDG, I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Yingcai Wu and Dr. Tan Tang.
My research interests span social media analysis, human–LLM collaboration, and agent memory. Broadly, I aim to develop interpretable and collaborative AI systems that help people organize, retrieve, and reason over complex information. My previous work investigates how visual metaphors and interactive systems can support the analysis of cross-platform social media phenomena. More recently, I have been studying memory systems for LLM agents, and I am interested in further exploring how agent memory can support deeper forms of human–agent collaboration, from shared context understanding to better alignment with human intent.
