Zhuowei (Joe) Cai

Biography

I am a first-year graduate student in the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before that, I was a research assistant at the Multimedia Lab, Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Integrated Technology (SIAT), which is cooperated by Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am working closely with Limin Wang and Xiaojiang Peng, under the supervision of Prof. Yu Qiao. Before coming to Shenzhen, I received my B.S. degree in summer 2013, from the Department of Mathematics, Zhejiang University, supervised by Prof. Jianlan Wu and Dr. Zaixing Yang.

Teaching

2014 - 2015 fall

• Teaching Assistant for CS302: Introduction to Programming
• Teaching Assistant for CS367: Introduction to Data Structures

Research interest

My interest is generally in optimization, statistics and machine learning theory. Particularly, I am intrigued by decision theory and reinforcement learning. I have maintained a strong interest towards these cool fields, fascinated by their beauty and practicality. I am also actively engaged in the application of learning theory in fields like computer vision and computational biology, which inspires my truly understanding on the power of theory.
