Yaowei Huang

Hi, my name is Yaowei Huang. I am now a 2rd year MPhil student at Department of Computer Science and Engineering of HKUST. My supervisor is Prof.  Tong Zhang. Previously, I got my bachelor's degree at the IEEE Honor Class in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Xinbing Wang.

I am generally interested in applying Bayesian Optimization in different machine learning problems, like Black-box Adversarial Attack. My recent research aims at applying transformer in time series forecasting problem.
