Cihang Xie is an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at University of California, Santa Cruz. He received his Ph.D. degree from Johns Hopkins University, advised by Bloomberg Distinguished Professor Alan Yuille. His research interest lies at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning, with the goal of building human-level computer vision systems. He is particularly interested in securing model performance under distribution shifts, and developing deep representation learning with minimal supervision.
Relevant Expertise:
- Secure AI for autonomous aircraft: developing robust AI models resilient to adversarial attacks for autonomous drone operations, including automatic recovery mechanisms for compromised autonomous systems
- AI agent recovery for autonomous systems: creating common-sense reasoning systems for autonomous recovery in dynamic environments when traditional safety systems are compromised
