Short Bio
Yao-Yuan is a Ph.D. student in the Computer Science and Engineering department of UCSD. He received his B.S. in Computer Science from National Taiwan University in 2016. He is currently working with Professor Kamalika Chaudhuri on adversarial machine learning.
Here are some problems he has previously worked on:
- Cost-sensitive multi-label classification
- Active learning
- Brain decoding with electroencephalogram (EEG)
News
- Our work "Robustness for Non-Parametric Methods: A Generic Attack and Defense" get accepted into AISTATS 2020
- I am presenting my work at the Machine Learning with Guarantees workshop at NeurIPS 2019
- I am presenting my work at ACML 2019
