About

Appointed Canada CIFAR AI Chair – 2021

Yuhong Guo is a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Amii, a full professor in the School of Computer Science at Carleton University, and a Canada Research Chair in Machine Learning.

Guo’s research focuses on enhancing the robustness, generalizability, and practical utility of machine learning methods.  She pursues a multifaceted approach, investigating key areas such as generalized transfer learning, learning under limited supervision constraints, and navigating the challenges posed by noisy or weak supervision signals.  This research has produced techniques that alleviate the burden of extensive data annotation by leveraging auxiliary resources and achieving effective learning from limited or weak supervision paradigms. Guo’s research program has broadened the scope of effective machine learning to diverse scenarios and real-world challenges.
