Yiqing Li
Hello! My name is Yiqing Li, currently a master’s student at Machine Learning Department of Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), supervised by Professor Kun Zhang. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Fudan University in China, majoring in Data Science and Big Data Technology. I also spent time at the University of Melbourne as a visiting student under the supervision of Professor Mingming Gong in 2023.
Research Interests
I am currently interested in the intersection of Machine Learning and Causality, with a particular focus on Causal Discovery and/or Causal Representation Learning. I am also open to exploring Reinforcement Learning and Large Language Models.
