Aspiring AI Researcher
Teng Yao Long
Welcome to my personal homepage! I am a Year 4 Data Science and Artificial Intelligence undergraduate at NTU with a passion for Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning. Additionally, I have research experience in Quantitative Finance and Vehicle Simulations.
About me
Fun fact: I have 0 knowledge on how to build a website, much less using astro. This was entirely built by me having a conversation with ChatGPT (in 1 day)! Welcome to my creative journey. Much like many others, I believe in an agentic future where AI and humans work together to create a better world. I will be starting my PhD journey soon, and I'm excited to see where this journey will take me. My current reading interests lie in AGI and other foundational models, as well as generative models as potential world models. I would very much hope to contribute something impactful to these domains in the future.
I find inspiration in the world around me, as well as the many brilliant researches around the world. I am always looking for opportunities to collaborate and learn from others. If you're interested in working together, feel free to reach out to me!

History Is Not Enough:
Adaptive Curriculum for Synthetic Financial Data (In Progress)
Description:
Developed a novel workflow designed to reduce performance disparities in quantitative finance caused by concept drift. The workflow integrates synthetic financial data augmentation and an adaptive curriculum planner.
Authors:
Teng Yao Long*, PhD Xia Haochong*, Prof An Bo
Contributions
Proposed and implemented a data manipulation module to produce diverse, high-quality synthetic data. Created an adaptive curriculum planner to dynamically adjust strategies based on training progress, improving out-of-sample performance and reducing risks in volatile markets.
