DECRA 2025 Success
Congratulations to AAII's Dr Zhen Fang.
The ARC has released its selection outcome report for Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA). We are thrilled to share that Dr Zhen Fang from AAII is among the 200 DECRAs awarded for 2025.
Dr Fang's project 'Transfer Learning for Reliable Data Detection in Open-set Environments' aims to use transfer learning to enhance the reliability of machine learning models when encountering unfamiliar objects, which are known as out-of-distribution data. The project involves: developing novel machine learning theories to guide method design; novel frameworks that are distribution-robust to transfer knowledge from available related datasets; and novel compatibility-aware frameworks to transfer knowledge from available models. The outcomes are expected to enhance the reliability of machine learning, yielding benefits for responsible artificial intelligence.
