Hi there, I'm Yue ZHAO (赵越 in Chinese)! 👋
😄 I am an Assistant Professor at USC Computer Science; see more information at my homepage.
Prospective Students. Openings and Timeline for PhD Offer. I am peacefully looking for Ph.D. students (from Fall 25) and interns (no earlier than Fall 2024). I prepared a procedure for the USC CS Ph.D. offer process and funding. See more at my homepage.
🌱 Research Interests. I build reproducible, automated, and scalable machine learning (ML) and data mining (DM) benchmarks, algorithms, and systems, with a focus on but not limited to anomaly detection, graph neural networks, ML systems, and AI for healthcare, security, and finance.
- Benchmark various learning algorithms for fair evaluation and new insights.
- Automate ML by model selection and hyperparameter optimization.
- Design large-scale ML systems for real-world applications.
- Develop open-source ML tools to support applications in healthcare, finance, security, and more.
⚡ Open-source Contribution: I created PyOD (used by NASA, Tesla, Morgan Stanley, and more) - the most popular library for anomaly detection in 2017. Also, I have led more than 10 ML open-source initiatives, receiving 20,000 GitHub stars (top 0.002%) and >20M downloads. Popular ones: PyOD, PyGOD, TDC, ADBench
