Bio
Hi! I'm a CS PhD student at University of Maryland. I work on machine learning. My research focus is fairness and safety in machine learning. Some of the research questions I aim to ask are: How to ensure fairness when data distribution has changed? How to understand when safety align algorithms have been jailbroken? I grew up in Shanghai and New York. I studied Math and Computer Science at Boston University. Outside of PhD I enjoy painting and going on hikes!Project ideas
Using pytorch to code a neural network classifying images
- Pytorch is a popular library for coding neural networks. I work with pytorch on my research projects. With pytorch you can train models that can classify different types of data. - What you would learn: how to code a neural netowork in pytorch, understand the pipepline of training a machine learning model, learn about loss functions and gradient descent
Discuss research topics in AI/ML, and conduct a literature survey on topics you are interested in
- Reading research papers and understanding the background related work for a topic is an important research skill. Understanding what people are interested in and working on helps inform your potential research direction. - What you would learn: where to find papers and topics to read, paper reading skills, summarizing papers and writing a literature review
