Short Bio

[I am moving to a new homepage, and this one will no longer be maintained since Nov 2024.]

My name is Zhong Li, and I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Leiden University, affiliated with the EDA Lab. I am fortunate  to be supervised  by Dr. Matthijs van Leeuwen (daily supervisor, promotor) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Bäck (promotor). Besides, I worked as a visiting PhD researcher in the DAML group at Technical University of Munich in 2024, supervised by Prof. Dr. Stephan Günnemann

Research Interests: 

I am interested in the field of Data Mining and Machine Learning. During my PhD, I work on trustworthy anomaly detection, with a focus on but not limited to complex data such as event sequence and graph-structured data for smart manufacturing.

More concretely, I aim to improve the accuracy (namely make anomaly detection models more accurate, especially with high-dimensional, unstructured, multimodal data), explainability (namely make anomaly detection models more understandable for humans) and generalizability (namely make anomaly detection models work reliably under changing conditions such as data distribution shifts, uncharted hyperarameter configurations, and the presence of adversarial perturbations) of anomaly detection methods.
