About Me

Xize Cheng (成曦泽) is a fourth-year doctoral candidate at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, expecting to graduate in June 2026. He is advised by Professor Zhou Zhao. I am actively looking for academic collaboration, feel free to drop me an email.

In 2024, I lead or participate in the following research topics:

• Large Language Models(LLMs): Spoken Dialogue Systems / Audio Large Language Models
• Audio Understanding: Sound Separation Model / Audio-Visual Speech
