Machine Learning, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning

Our research spans a wide range of topics in machine learning and deep learning, including machine learning theory, reinforcement learning, graphical neural networks, adversarial learning, interpretable machine learning, federated learning and natural language processing. Our primary goal is to advance the state-of-the-art in machine learning theory and applications, addressing real-world challenges across various industrial and scientific domains. Our application fields include FinTech, Blockchain, transportation, urban computing, bioinformatics, neuroscience, social network analysis and cyber-physical system design. Many machine learning faculty members are also core faculty of the Center for AI Research (CAIR). Our research has received broad support by different agencies, including NSF, DOE, AFOSR, DOT, NIH, DOD and industry partners. The results are consistently published in high-impact journals and top-tier machine learning and artificial intelligence conferences, such as Nature Machine Intelligence, Nature Communications, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (TNNLS), NeurIPS, ICML, KDD, AAAI, IJCAI and ICDM.
