About me
I am Haiwen Huang, my Chinese name is 黄海文. I am a PhD student at University of Tübingen, co-supervised by Prof. Andreas Geiger and Dr. Dan Zhang, starting in Jan. 2022.
My research interests span robust machine learning, uncertainty estimation, out-of-distribution detection, and out-of-distribution generalization. More generally, I am interested in problems that machine learning faces when we deploy it in the real-world applications, e.g., large-scale annotation, AI alignment, small-data tasks. My PhD research falls mainly in the intersection of these ML problems and computer vision.
Before my PhD studies, I completed my MSc in CS at University of Oxford (supervisor: Prof. Yarin Gal) and my BSc in Math at Peking University (supervisor: Prof. Bin Dong). I have also worked as a researcher for a year at Megvii (previously known as Face++), studying large-scale annotation and OoD detection methods.
My CV is here.
