I'm a 2nd-year PhD student at UW-Madison, where I'm super honored to be advised by Prof. Stephen Wright and work closely with Profs. Jiawei Zhang and Qin Li.
I have a keen interest in exploring how the Universe and Intelligence work and how can we possibly understand them. In this era, AI is dependent on data-driven deep learning methods, which is unexplainable and uncontrollable. I believe that theory-guided intelligence is the future of AI. My long-term goal is to embrace the AGI via fully explainable methods! 🌞
We know how it works, what it learns, and why it excels!
Another noteworthy thing is that I'm a devoted advocate of Slow Science, or rather, a faithful of Thinking.
08/2024. PhD journey at UW-Madison starts! Super glad to work with my mentors and friends on exciting topics!
