Research
-
My research interests lie in machine learning and deep learning. My long-term goal is to develop trustworthy intelligent systems, which can learn and reason from a massive volume of complex (e.g., weakly supervised, adversarial, causal, fair, and privacy-preserving) data (e.g, label, example, preference, domain, similarity, graph, and demonstration) automatically. Recently, I develop core machine learning methodology. Besides, I am actively applying our fundamental research into the healthcare domain (e.g., medical image understanding). I am heading Trustworthy Machine Learning Group.

My current research work center around four major themes (with representative works/projects; more information here):
Weakly Supervised Representation Learning: How can we train complex models robustly using weakly supervised information? [Survey] [NeurIPS'18] [NeurIPS'18] [ICML'19] [ICML'20] [ICML'21] [NeurIPS'21] [ICLR'22]
Security, Privacy and Robustness in Machine Learning: How can we preserve the security, privacy and robustness in training complex models? [ICML'20] [ICLR'21] [ICML'21] [NeurIPS'21] [ICLR'22]
Automated and Federated Machine Learning: How can we build automated and federated intelligent systems without human intervention? [ICML'20] [KDD'21]
Interdisciplinary Problems: How can we apply the above fundamental research to the healthcare domain? [Project'20]
