(Robust) Machine Learning for Imperfect Data
The development of machine learning models, particularly in the context of label scarcity, increasingly necessitates the collection of substantial annotated data. Moreover, massive data often display a long-tailed class distribution or subpopulation shifts, which consequently results in notable imbalance issues. To this end, there are several growing interests in training machine learning models jointly across imbalanced subpopulation distributions and limited annotations.
We are developing novel algorithmic and computational approaches to ensure the efficiency and robustness of large machine learning models. Our applied research includes applications to healthcare, biomedical imaging, and cognitive neuroimaging.

Learning with Theoretical Guarantees
As machine learning methods have become ubiquitous in human decision-making, their reliability and interpretability have become important. This is particularly crucial in domains where decisions carry significant consequences, interpretable models can uncover crucial but unexpected patterns that complex models often obscure. We are currently studying provably interpretable modeling with theoretical guarantees. We are also exploring structured sparsity and attention in deep neural networks to enable interpretability.

Learning with Multi-Modality Data
Multi-modality data is ubiquitous in healthcare and science applications. We are pursuing various techniques for modeling such multiple data, primarily using probabilistic graphical models and other statistical analyses.
These tools are primarily used to facilitate clinical research. We are developing various tools to effectively tackle real-world challenges associated with data heterogeneity.
Of particular interest are novel methods that address robustness issues, such as confounding, as well as trustworthy computational approaches.

Foundation Models for Biomedical Data
The development of medical foundation models often requires massive and diverse biomedical data.
To this end, I have developed various foundation models for biomedical imaging data and explored novel applications of these models.
I have also developed novel biomedical AI Agents that lead to the scalable and accurate predictive modeling, particularly for distribution shift problems.
