Dongda Li

ML / CV & VLM researcher
open-source builder

Hello! I’m Dongda Li — or 李东达, as written in Chinese. My online handle is dongdongbh. I worked on reinforcement learning and Neural Combinatorial Optimization (NCO), and recently I am working on computer vision and vision-language models (VLMs) — all rooted in statistical learning.

My background bridges Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. I also have a strong background in UAVs and robotics, which belong to the field of Autonomous Systems.

Beyond research, I enjoy hacking and contributing to open-source software — I continue to contribute to many open-source projects. I am also the creator and maintainer of Mindwtr.
