Hi, I'm Yibo (Jacky) Zhang

I am a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University, where I am fortunate to be advised by
Sanmi Koyejo.
I'm interested in solving fundamental AI problems through theoretical research that leads to real-world solutions. The problems I've worked on include:
-
Intelligent Fields:
A framework for objective‑driven dynamical stochastic fields, where decentralized entities interact with local neighbors and co-evolve within a dynamic environment to achieve specific objectives.
-
Machine Learning:
Model alignment, federated learning, adversarial robustness, active learning.
-
Optimization:
Bayesian coresets and combinatorial (particularly submodualr) optimization.
-
Algorithms:
Approximation algorithms and practical heuristics.
