Successful Stories
Congrats to our 1st-year PhD student Yi Zhang on publishing at the top computer vision conference, ECCV24, just four months after joining us—A remarkable start and a milestone! The paper: "ProTIP: Probabilistic Robustness Verification on Text-to-Image Diffusion Models against Stochastic Perturbation"
Our 2nd-year PhD student, Sihao Wu, has had a paper accepted by AAAI24, marking his first publication since joining us—an excellent start and a milestone!
Our 1st year PhD student Yi Qi published his first academic paper with us "A Hierarchical HAZOP-Like Safety Analysis for Learning-Enabled Systems" at AISafety'22 (co-located with IJCAI'22)---A milestone in his career as an AI researcher.
Our PhD student Wei Huang is on the University webpage: Becoming an Expert: Safety Problems in Learning-enabled Autonomous Systems.
Our PhD student Wei Huang won the ‘most original approach’ award at Siemens Mobility Artificial Intelligence Dependability Assessment – Student Challenge.
