Ziliang Xiong

PhD student

Passionate about AI in general and Uncertainty Quantification in particular: enabling artificial neural networks to be aware of the uncertainty in their own predictions, a vital step towards safe and trust-worthy AI.

I am an academic PhD student at Computer Vision Laboratory.

Research Activities

My PhD project is part of Situation Aware Perception for Safe Autonomous Robotics Systems is funded by Swedish national strategic research environment ELLIIT (grant C08).

I am affiliated with the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program.

Teaching

I am a teaching assistant and a project supervisor in several courses such as ”TSBB19 Machine Learning for Computer Vision”, ”TSBB18 Embeded Perception System”, and ”TSDT18 Signal and System”.

I am also a supervisor for both internal and external master theses.
