+At VITA group, we have unusually broad, and forever-evolving research interests spanning from the theory to the application aspects of machine learning (ML). Our current "research keywords" include, but are not limited to: sparsity (from classical optimization to modern neural networks); efficient training, inference or transfer (especially, of large foundation models); robustness and trustworthiness; learning to optimize (L2O); generative AI; graph learning, and more.
