Ruoyu Chen

Major in Computer Application Technology, Computer Vision

I’m Ruoyu Chen (陈若愚), a Ph.D. candidate in Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IIE, CAS), under the tutelage of Prof. Xiaochun Cao (currently the Dean of School of Cyber Science and Technology, Sun Yat-sen University). My research interests include Interpretable AI and Foundation Model.

I’m committed to making XAI meaningful and actually helping us with AI systems. Including in the model testing phase, building an interpretation method for debugging the model to help us discover potential biases and errors in the model. In the model training phase, specific defects are discovered through interpretability, and a reasonable feedback mechanism is designed to enable the model to automatically repair errors to improve model performance and generalization, while making the training process transparent. In the model deployment phase, improve the explanation of the model and study the human-computer interaction or AI agent processes in dynamic environments.

I received my B.E. degree from School of Control Engineering, Northeastern University and mentored by Prof. Yuliang Zhao at NEU, Prof. Yongliang Yang at SIA, CAS, and Prof. Wen Jung Li (Fellow, IEEE) at CityU.

I am open for collaborations in research. I am also actively looking for collaborators, especially in the fields of Trustworthy AI and Foundation Model. Please feel free to contact me.
