Wangpok Tse (谢宏博)

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Hong Kong, pursuing a dual degree in BEng and BBA. My research focuses on generative AI and machine learning, and I had the opportunity to work with Prof. Taku Komura and Prof. Yuan Liu during my undergraduate studies. I studied at Heung To Middle School before. Feel free to send me an email if you are interested in my research.

Research Publications

My research focuses on artificial intelligence and machine learning for 3d computer vision, especially in video generation and digital human modeling (motion generation, motion capture, physical simulation). I'm exploring how these technologies can bring benefits in fields like mixed reality, robotics, LLM, integrated systems, film/game industry and cybersecurity.

A multi-modal motion capture dataset featuring 241 sequences of dynamic two-person interactions, capturing speech, motions, and expressions over long durations.

Selected Projects

Here are some of my selected projects in artificial intelligence and their applications across various domains.

3D Motion Synthesis from MikuMikuDance to SMPL Human Model
Chengfeng Zhao, Junbo Qi, Wangpok Tse, Zekai Gu
2025 - 2026 Research Internship at IGL-HKUST
[project page]

This is an automated workflow for composing, rendering, and retargeting any humanoid MikuMikuDance (MMD) characters driven by any MMD animations in any blender scenes.

Transfer Learning for Deepfake Image Detection: Digital Content Safety in Cybersecurity
Undergraduate Course Project: Deep Learning for Computer Vision
[project page]

This project uses a fine-tuned ResNet CNN to classify images as real or deepfake. The system helps defend against AI-generated disinformation and identity fraud.

SentimentSage: A Market News Sentiment Analysis AI Platform with RAG
Undergraduate Course Project: Text Analytics and NLP in Finance & Fintech
[project page]

This is an AI agent that performs sentiment analysis on financial market news using FinBERT and RAG. The system retrieves news articles to generate actionable investment summaries.

Miscellanea

I like adventures and exploring new things, traveling around the world, and taking photos of amazing places. I like drawing, basketball and strumming my guitar. I also like fencing, I was a member of the HKU fencing team. Some fun facts about me, I speak English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and Southwestern Mandarin. I'm half HongKonger, half Sichuanese, and I spent my childhood in Zhuhai. I am a huge Marvel fan!
