Biography
Dongyue Li is a doctoral student at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, advised by Hongyang Zhang.
His doctoral work—which he began in 2021 and expects to complete in 2027—deals with machine learning. In particular, he is focusing on building learning algorithms that can generalize over tasks, as well as building algorithms under circumstances where available data is limited. These areas include multi-task learning, meta-learning, unsupervised and semi-supervised learning, data augmentation, and the theoretical properties of learning algorithms.
In addition to his doctoral research, Li is interested in learning theory (particularly deep learning theory) and social and information networks.
