Research Interests
My research interests are in Machine Learning, Computer vision, and their applications towards more Human-centric and Humanoid AI. My current research focuses include:
(1) Human-centric properties of AI models (Causal Explainable AI, Human-to-AI / AI-to-AI Knowledge Exchange, Domain Adaptation, Out-of-distribution Detection (OOD))
(2) Simulate human cognitive learning ability (Continual Learning, Imagination, Reasoning, Visual Recognition)
(3) How generative models (NeRF, GAN, VAE) and multi-modal models (DALL-E, CLIP) help downstream discriminative models (detection, segmentation)
What does being an Amazon ML Fellow mean to you?
Being an Amazon fellow means not only an honor but motivation for me. It encourages me to keep exploring the challenging task of understanding the reasoning logic of AI models, and further simulating the human's cognitive learning ability toward more Human-centric, Humanoid, and Trustworthy AI.
