About Me
Libo Huang is a full-time, tenure-track Assistant Professor (Assistant Researcher) at the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He can solely advise Ph.D. and master's students in Computer Science. Prior to joining the faculty, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher (2021.10 - 2024.8) and an intern researcher (2021.7-2021.10) at ICT, CAS, where he collaborated with Prof. Yongjun Xu and Prof. Zhulin An on deep learning research.
He received his Ph.D. degree in Machine Learning under the joint supervision of Prof. Wing-Kuen Ling at Guangdong University of Technology (GDUT) (2018-2021) and Prof. Lu Gan at Brunel University of London (2019-2020). Before that, he earned his M.Eng. degree in Computer Science from GDUT (2016-2018), supervised by Prof. Zhifeng Hao and Prof. Ruichu Cai.
Research Interests
His research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and neuroscience. Specifically, his work spans:- Machine learning: Investigating memorization mechanisms in deep learning models and exploring memorization capacity of deep neural networks.
- Neuroscience: Applying unsupervised clustering analysis, representation learning techniques, and non-convex optimization methods to neural signals.
Recruitment Announcement: We are offering 1-2 Master / Ph.D. positions and 1-2 visiting/internship openings (exceptional undergraduates are also eligible) annually in the fields of machine learning, deep learning, and optimization. Both remote and on-site opportunities are available. Interested candidates are invited to submit their curriculum vitae via .
