Here is my new homepage. |
About Me
I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Civil Aviation University of China and Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. I'm now a Ph.D. student in the RSISE at the Australian National University. I am sponsored by NICTA, where I am working with the Statistical Machine Learning group under the supervision of Professor S.V.N. Vishwanathan.
Research Interests
My research interests are in stochastic (online) learning and nonsmooth optimization for machine learning.
