Research interests
Xiaowei belongs to the following research groups:
Xiaowei’s research is focused on developing novel machine learning models that 1) have a transparent system structure and human-interpretable reasoning process, and 2) are capable of offering the state-of-the-art performance but with less demand of human expertise involvement. Xiaowei is also interested in developing explainable semi-supervised machine learning models to tackle streaming data problems.
