OATML

Hao is a senior postdoctoral researcher at OATML working with Yarin Gal, jointly affiliated at Department of Computer Science and Big Data Institute, University of Oxford. Previously, he was a senior research fellow at the National University of Singapore. His research focuses on multimodal foundational models and generative models, with an emphasis on exploring the relationship between the physical world and the mental world. Recently, he has been working on AI for natural science, AI scientific discovery. He has been continuously reflecting on 3 fundamental questions: 1) How can AI systems achieve seamless generalization across heterogeneous modalities? 2) How can AI develop human-like sensitivity to subtle cognitive and affective state changes? 3) How can AI autonomously identify and expand the boundaries of scientific knowledge under fundamentally underspecified conditions?
