RESEARCH INTEREST
I am mainly interested at adversarial and robust learning, and also machine learning applications
on security problems. Theoretically I maintain enormous interest on nonparametric large-scale learning,
semi-supervised outlier detection, and also copula probabilistic model, Causal inference. Besides,
I am fond of NLP and Vision where artificial intelligence seems promising already and will be getting
jaw dropping real.
I am open for projects and research collaboration, if we’ve common interests.
