About me

Hi, I'm Zeyang! I'm currently a final-year Ph.D candidate in the Department of Computer Science & Technology at Tsinghua Univeristy, advised by Prof. Wenwu Zhu and Prof. Xin Wang. I got my Bachelor degree in Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University in 2020. I also got my Second Degree in School of Economics and Management at Tsinghua University in 2020. I have published 20+ papers in prestigious conferences, e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ACM KDD, ICLR, AAAI, CVPR, etc.

Research interests

My research interests lie in Open-environment Graph Machine Learning, including the subtopics:
  • Automated Architecture Adaptation: adapt to new environments, datasets, tasks by automatically designing, searching, modifying the neural network architectures
  • Out-of-distribution Generalization: generalize the neural network models under distribution shifts by discovering and exploiting the invariant patterns across environments
  • Large Language Models: enhance the zero/few-shot learning and reasoning abilities of the models in open environments by leveraging LLMs' strong abilities (textual understanding/planning/etc.)
  • Ai4Science Applications: solve the scientific problems by leveraging the AI techniques, including mathematical problems, drug discoveries, medical care, etc.

Selected papers

The full list of publications can be found in the publications page.
