Deng-Bao Wang   王登豹

I am an assistant professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Southeast University. I earned my PhD from Southeast University in 2024, advised by Prof. Min-Ling Zhang. I am a member of PALM group.

My research interests mainly include artificial intelligence, machine learning and data mining. I'm currently working on weakly supervised learning and uncertainty calibration of deep models. Additionally, I'm also interested in gaining a deeper understanding of modern neural networks through insightful experiments.

Calibration Bottleneck: Over-compressed Representations are Less Calibratable
Deng-Bao Wang, Min-Ling Zhang
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2024   PDF  Code
We empirically observed a U-shaped pattern on calibratability of intermediate features, spanning from the lower to the upper layers.
Distilling Reliable Knowledge for Instance-Dependent Partial Label Learning

On the Pitfall of Mixup for Uncertainty Calibration
Deng-Bao Wang, Lanqing Li, Peilin Zhao, Pheng-Ann Heng, Min-Ling Zhang
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2023   PDF  Code  Appendix
We pointed out the pitfall of Mixup on calibration and propose a simple yet effective strategy named Mixup Inference in Training.
