Short Bio
I'm currently a researcher at machine learning group, Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). Before joining MSRA, I obtained by Ph.D. from Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in June, 2019. My Ph.D. thesis is mainly on transfer learning algorithms and applications in ubiquitous computing. In 2018/04--2018/08m, I was a visitor of Prof. Qiang Yang's group at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). At MSRA, my research interest is mainly about generalization problems, including but not limited to: transfer learning, few-shot learning, meta learning, adaptive learning, and related applications.

Research
My main interest is the generalization-related problems. Generalization is perhaps the most fundamental and mysterious aspects of machine learning. Briefly speaking, it is the game of data, models, and optimizers, where each one of them plays a key role in helping a learning machine achieve better generalization abilities. Therefore, that machine can be non-trivially applied to a new environment with new tasks and datasets.
Such triumph would require efforts from many research areas, including but not limited to: deep learning, transfer learning, domain adaptation/generalization, out-of-distribution detection, meta learning, few-shot learning, adversarial robustness, adaptative learning, and so on. At the same time, these algorithms should be working with several applications to deal with real-world challenges, such as activity recognition, computer vision, financial technology, etc.
