Research areas
Federated Learning
Federated learning is a decentralized machine learning approach that allows multiple devices to train a shared model collaboratively while keeping their local data private.
Continual Learning
Continual learning refers to the ability of a machine learning model to continuously acquire and retain knowledge from new data while retaining previously learned information.
Domain Adaptation
Domain Adaptation aligns a network from a source dataset to perform on a target dataset with a different distribution. Complex neural networks require abundant labeled data, which limits their application in many real-world scenarios.
