Welcome to the DeLTA Lab

“DeLTA”: Designing Deep Learning in Principle: From Theory to Applications
PI: Wuyang Chen, Assistant Professor (wuyang at sfu dot ca)
The School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University
SFU 

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.
