Jianyu Zhang
Welcome to Jianyu's home page
I am a Research Scientist at Meta FAIR Lab. I got my Ph.D. from NYU Data Science advised by Leon Bottou and Yann LeCun. I have broad research interests in machine learning, representation learning and out-of-distribution generalization. Recently, I am interested in the learning principles to build AI for the open-world. AI for the open-world aims at solving any task that a human could possibly undertake. That is, a wide range of tasks with fewer examples and less priori knowledge from human designers. I explores three such learning principles, inluding rich features, disentangled representation, and inference-time learning to support each of the three requirements above.
