About Me

I am an CSE PhD sudent in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) HKUST, supervised by Professor Tong Zhang. Out of Distribution (OOD) Generalization , Robustess of Deep Learning and Learning theory are my research interests.

If you are also interested in discussing / cooperating with me on OOD, you can contact me by Email (ylindf(A)connect.ust.hk {A = @}).

I have lunched a blog on Invariant Risk Minimization here (in Chinese).
