Interpretable & Actionable Models using Attribute & Uncertainty Information
- Deep-learning models can be difficult to understand and control intuitively due to the black-box nature of these models. However, such lack of interpretability and human actionability in the models’ decision processes make it difficult to trust these models in critical applications that affect the lives of people. We propose to alleviate these problems through the use of attribute and uncertainty models in deep networks.
HKUST Robotics Team, Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Subteam
- Overall 3rd Place (Explorer Class) – 14th Annual MATE International Underwater Robotics Competition in St John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
- Asia Champion in 2015 MATE Asia Regional Underwater Robotics Competition
- Built the main control software of the ROV, which operates with ROS and is controlled with an Xbox controller, and Qt GUI’s for the competition runs
- The team is composed of 15 engineers who built and designed the ROV from scratch.

Hobbies and Interests
For most of my pre-university life, I was into competitive mathematics, with geometry being a favorite topic. I competed in various math competitions both local and abroad representing the Philippine Team. During my spare time back at home, I now train elementary and high school students for international math competitions. I was part of the training team of the 2017-2019 PH IMO team, and I led the PH team to a number of elementary math competitions.
I also enjoy playing soccer, frisbee and scuba diving. I was part of the HKUST Women's Soccer Team back in my senior year.
