Ching Lam Choi
I'm a first year MIT EECS PhD student at CSAIL, co-supervised by Phillip Isola, Antonio Torralba and Stefanie Jegelka. During my CUHK bachelor's, I researched with wonderful people — Aaron Courville and Yann Dauphin at MILA; Wieland Brendel at Tübingen's Max Planck Institute; Serge Belongie at Copenhagen's Pioneer Centre; CUHK's Hongsheng Li (MMLab), Anthony Man-Cho So, Farzan Farnia and Qi Dou. CV / Bio [WIP] / Coffee-hours / Blog [WIP] I am interested in probing the robustness, causal reasoning and epistemic capabilities of ML systems. In robustness, I investigate making systems run on synthetic data, such that they scale in a sustainable, privacy-preserving manner. Through causality, I aim to make models rational, understandable and reliable, to provide safety and logic-symbolic guarantees. Epistemology concerns understanding the extent of AI's capabilities, testing its limits in expression and generation through computational/complexity theory. Debiased path attribution by pe
