Wenhao Yang @ LAMDA, NJU-AI
Biography
Currently I am a third year Ph.D. student of School of Artificial Intelligence in Nanjing University and a member of LAMDA Group, led by professor Zhi-Hua Zhou.
I received my B.Sc. degree from School of Electronic Engineering, Xidian University in June 2022. In the same year, I was admitted to pursue Ph.D. degree in Nanjing University without entrance examination.
Research Interests
My research interests include Machine Learning and Optimization.
