New York, USA
Joined January 2018
New @UncertaintyinAI-2025 paper! Exact acquisition function maximizer can be hardly obtained in #BayesianOptimization, and our paper systematically studies it in theory. We find a condition where BO can still be no-regret even without exact maximization.

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a widely used iterative algorithm for optimizing black-box functions. Each iteration requires maximizing an acquisition function, such as the upper confidence bound...

Many #DrugDiscovery problems focus on hitting multiple target performance criteria when screening over drug candidates. Our new @AISTATS_conf-2025 paper models it as constrained Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization problem and solve it efficiently! Link:

From Goleta to La Jolla, there is always a SoCal beach!.
It's an eventful month in ML with #ICML2024 notice, #AISTATS & #ICLR happening, and #NeurIPS deadline creeping up. It's high time for a *career update*: I've joined @UCSanDiego as an associate professor in @hdsiucsd and @ucsd_cse. Super excited about the new chapter to come!
