Jie-Jing Shao @ LAMDA, NJU-CS
Biography
I am a graduate student from Department of Computer Science & Technology in Nanjing University and a member of LAMDA Group, which is led by professor Zhi-Hua Zhou.
I received my B.Sc. degree from College of Computer Science and Technology (Tang Aoqing Honors Program in Science) at Jilin University in 2019. In the same year, I was admitted to study for a M.Sc. degree in Nanjing University without entrance examination. In 2022, I started to pursue a Ph.D. degree at Nanjing University.
Research Interests
My long-term goal is to build practical and robust machine learning systems in real world.
My current interest lies in topics related to Reinforcement Learning and Neuro-Symbolic Learning, especially on improving their generalization and data efficiency.
