Tianshu Huang

I'm an ECE student at UT Austin interested in Machine Learning. Specifically, I'm interested developing machine learning methods that decrease the cost to use machine learning such as hardware-aware methods that decrease the training or inference cost.

Current Research
My current research with Prof. Atlas Wang on deep learning methodology is in Learning to Optimize. In this field, gradient-optimizers for deep learning models (i.e. Adam, RMSProp) are parameterized most often as recurrent neural networks which are treated as policies to be trained.In my individual work, I designed and implemented a learning to optimize framework in TensorFlow, combining four papers and tens of thousands of lines of code into a single library and API. I then showed that using multiple teachers in imitation learning improves performance in a way that cannot be explained by memorization of the teachers, and am currently working on further research regarding multiple teachers.
