Broadly, I am interested in interactive machine learning (IML), which includes reinforcement learning, bandits, Bayesian optimization, and active learning (see below for some introduction of these). I also develop novel confidence bounds that often becomes key tools for constructing efficient IML algorithms. Recently, I have been looking into IML problems arising from GenAIs including LLMs.
Before coming to UA, I did a postdoc with Francesco Orabona (who I call the 'master of coin’) at Boston University. Before then, I spent 9 years at UW-Madison for a PhD degree with Xiaojin (Jerry) Zhu and a postdoc position at Wisconsin Institute for Discovery with Robert Nowak, Rebecca Willett, and Stephen Wright.
