HAOTENG YIN
Ph.D., AI/ML Researcher
Embedded Files
I am Haoteng Yin, an AI/ML Researcher. I completed my PhD in Computer Science at Purdue University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Pan Li. I also hold an MPhil in Data Science from Peking University and a BEng in Computer Science from Taishan College (Honors School) at Shandong University.
My research focuses on developing efficient, scalable, and trustworthy learning algorithms. My primary areas of interest include:
Computation & Learning on Graphs [C1-10]
LLMs & Foundation Models for Structured Data [C7-9]
Trustworthy ML (Privacy & Robustness) [C8-10]
Spatiotemporal Data Analysis [J1, C1]
