Trusted AI

Welcome to the Trusted AI for Universal-perception (TAU) Lab at the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST)!

Our research aims to improve the explainability, fairness, privacy, and efficiency of AI models. We are developing machine learning algorithms and systems based on those principles and aspirations, then translating them into real-world applications, such as Robotics, Healthcare field and AI for science.
