This group is in the University of Technology Sydney, Australia. We are dedicated to exploring new methodologies and applications on foundation models and federated learning. We are passionate to share our research outcomes with the research community via publishing papers, giving talks, hosting workshops and seminars, and sharing thoughts via writing blog posts. We also enjoyed the discussion with industry partners to solve their practical challenges using our knowledge and methods, and then towards co-designing innovative applications. We have special interests in applying cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology to solve the challenges of science, cybersecurity, digital health, climate change, and sustainable environment.
