Youwei Liang
I am a PhD student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. My PhD advisor is Prof. Pengtao Xie. Before coming to UCSD, I spent some good time working as a research intern in the Visual Computing Center at Tencent AI Lab, supervised by Dr. Yibing Song. Prior to that, I was an undergraduate student studying Information and Computing Science at SCAU, where I had the fortune to have Prof. Dong Huang being my advisor.
News
- [06/2022] I started a summer research internship at Meta FAIR Labs in its Menlo Park office.
- [01/2022] One paper was accepted as a spotlight at ICLR 2022.
- [12/2021] I co-organized an NeurIPS 2021 Workshop: Self-Supervised Learning - Theory and Practice.
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in machine learning, especially unsupervised/self-supervised learning such as generative models (e.g., GAN and VAE), contrastive/predictive learning (e.g., MoCo, BYOL, and CARE), and optimization.
I am currently working on accelerating the training and inference of deep learning models, with an emphasis on Vision Transformers. My previous projects span various aspects in machine learning, from multi-view clustering to theories of the Lipschitz constants and adversarial robustness of CNN, to self-supervised learning. If you are interested in my works, please feel free to contact me.
