Motto
Since ancient times all people of accomplishment and great learning must have experienced three kinds of stages:
The first state can be described by,
Last night the west breeze
blew withered leaves off trees.
I mount the tower high
and strain my longing eye.
The second state can be described by,
I won’t regret
even if the belt on my robe grows looser;
For you
it’s worth being wan and haggard.
The third state can be described by,
A thousand times
I search for her in the crowd,
and, suddenly turning my head,
discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
Last night the west breeze

The third state can be described by,

and, suddenly turning my head,

About Me
I am Ying Pang (庞颖 in Chinese), a third-year PhD student
in Computer Science Department at
University of Otago. Currently, I am studying in Systems Research Group (SRG) and supervised by
Haibo Zhang, Jeremiah D. Deng, and Lizhi Peng (external). My research generally centers around
distributed optimization, federated learning, interpretation
of learning models, and imbalanced learning. Specifically, now I am working on designing, analyzing,
and evaluating collaborative learning frameworks considering real-world constraints (heterogeneity,
communication, privacy, interpretability, etc.)
