Welcome to the DeLTA Lab

Research Overview
1. We integrate AI methods with physical knowledge.
a) We build LLM for autoformalization, program synthesis, and reasoning on PDE control problems [1];
b) We develop neural operators [2] for 3D reconstruction of real-world fluids [3].
2. We develop principled deep learning methods [4, 5, 6, 7] inspired by deep learning theory.
3. We are broadly interested in LLM [8, 9, 10], computer vision [11, 12], model efficiency [13, 14], self-supervised learning [15, 16], automated machine learning (AutoML) [17], etc.
We actively look for self-motivated and proactive students to join us. You are welcome to email the PI (Wuyang Chen) with your resume and a short description of your research plans/interests.
For Ph.D. applicants, please apply to the CS @ SFU and mention the PI's name (Wuyang Chen) in your application.
