Research

    My research interests lie in machine learning, deep learning and foundation models. My long-term goal is to develop trustworthy intelligent systems (e.g., trustworthy foundation models), which can learn and reason from a massive volume of complex (e.g., weakly supervised, self-supervised, out-of-distribution, causal, fair, and privacy-preserving) data (e.g, label, example, preference, domain, similarity, graph, demonstration, and prompt) federatively and automatically. Recently, I develop core machine learning methodology. Besides, I am actively applying our fundamental research into the interdisciplinary domain.
