SMU Machine Learning & Applications (MaLA) Lab consists of a team led by Assistant Professor Guansong Pang in the School of Computing and Information Systems at Singapore Management University (SMU), working on a variety of machine learning, data mining, and computer vision problems.
Some research areas of particular interest include:
- 🍿 Anomaly detection
- 🍿 Open-world learning (out-of-distribution detection/generalization, open-set recognition, long-tailed classification, continual learning, open-vocabulary learning, etc.)
- 🍿 Graph representation learning
- 🍿 Deep reinforcement learning for knowledge discovery
The team also explores safety-critical and commercially/scientifically-significant real-world applications, including network intrusion detection, fraud detection, person re-identification, early detection of diseases, learning from biomedicine data, defect detection, biometric anti-spoofing, hate/toxic speech detection, etc.
The team has been actively collaborating with research teams led by various researchers, e.g., Prof. Ling Chen, Prof. Christopher Leckie, Prof. Xiao Bai, Prof. Peng Wang, Prof. Chunhua Shen, Prof. Ming-Sheng Shang, Prof. Kai-Ming Ting, and Prof. Gustavo Carneiro.
