About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Tokyo, where I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Masashi Sugiyama. I am also a Junior Research Associate at the Imperfect Information Learning Team, RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (RIKEN AIP). Previously, I received my M.Eng. degree from Southeast University under the supervision of Prof. Min-Ling Zhang. During my research journey, I also had wonderful time at MBZUAI, Ant Group and CASIA.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in weakly supervised learning (for classification, generation, and LLM post-training), efficient learning (for agents, LLMs, and data), and AI safety. Here’s my CV. If you are interested in discussing with me, welcome and feel free to contact me at dongdongwu1230 [at] gmail.com.
