Biography

I'm now working as a Research Fellow at the Australian Institute for Machine Learning (AIML), the University of Adelaide. My advisor is Dr. Lingqiao Liu. I completed my Ph.D. in Data Science and Machine Intelligence Lab and the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology, University of Technology Sydney in 2021. My advisor is Prof. Guandong Xu. I received M.S. degree in computer science from University of Science and Technology of China in 2018. My advisor is Prof. Shangfei Wang. I receive B.S. degree in computer science from Anhui University in 2015.

My research interests lie in machine learning, computer vision, multimedia, privileged information and related applications in artificial intelligence, including multi-task learning, fine-grained recognition, music emotion and photo aesthetics.

Recently, my major research topics are about: Rationale-guided Machine Learning. The most machine learning system is based on the principle of Empirical Risk Minimization. Any features and classifiers that contribute to risk minimization will be acquired from the learning process. In this research theme, we consider prediction rationale – clues about why a certain decision is made in the learning process. We are investigating how to represent rationale and how to put forward various regularizations on the rationale clues. This is expected to lead to more generalizable or more data-efficient machine learning systems.
