I’m Jianan Zhou, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Nanyang Technological University (SCSE@NTU), supervised by Prof. Jie Zhang, and co-supervised by Dr. Chi Xu @ A*STAR. Previously, I received B.Eng. in Software Engineering from Northeastern University (NEU) in 2019, and M.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence from NTU in 2021. After that, I was a research assistant at HKBU TMLR group, working with Prof. Bo Han on adversarial machine learning with weak supervision.

Research

My research mainly focuses on Machine Learning for Optimization, especially exploring the learning to optimize paradigm.

• Neural Combinatorial Optimization (2020 - Present)

• Adversarial Machine Learning (2021 - 2022)
