Dr Fanghui Liu, an Assistant professor at the Department of Computer Science, was selected as a speaker in AAAI 2024 New Faculty Highlights ProgramLink opens in a new window.

He presented a survey talk about his research in generalization analyses of over-parameterized models in learning theory, with applications to trustworthy machine learning, e.g., robustness, privacy.

The AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence is a prestigious annual international conference in AI. The purpose of the AAAI conference series is to promote research in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and foster scientific exchange between researchers, practitioners, scientists, students, and engineers across the entirety of AI and its affiliated disciplines. AAAI-24 will feature technical paper presentations, special tracks, invited speakers, workshops, tutorials, poster sessions, senior member presentations, competitions, and exhibit programs, and a range of other activities. The AAAI New Faculty Highlights Program is an invited speaker program highlighting AI researchers who have just begun careers as new faculty members or the equivalent in industry. New Faculty Highlight talks will be allotted 30 minutes each; the aim is for these talks to broadly survey the candidate’s research to date.

Several talks will be released online and publicized each day of the AAAI conference, following which they will be available archivally as part of the conference program. Invited speakers will be further invited to contribute an article to a corresponding series in AI Magazine.

Fanghui joined Warwick in 2023. His research interests focus on machine learning theory as well as theoretical-oriented applications. For his work on learning theory and cooperation, he was chosen for AAAI New Faculty Highlights 2024, Rising Star in AI (KAUST 2023) and presented two tutorials at ICASSP 2023 and CVPR 2023.

Prior to his current position, Fanghui worked as a postdoc researcher at EPFL, Switzerland and KU Leuven, Belgium, respectively.

He received his PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China in 2019 and bachelor's degree from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2014.
