Haoyu Wang is a Researcher in the Data Science & System Security Department at NEC Laboratories America.
He received his undergraduate degree in Computer Science from the University of Science and Technology of China, his M.S. in Engineering Physics/Applied Physics from Columbia University, and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia.
At NEC, he contributes to Agent AI systems for complex system modeling. Dr. Wang develops big-data and reinforcement-learning-based solutions for complex systems, with recent work including a PAIL engine (Performance-based Adversarial Imitation Learning) for carbon-neutral optimization presented at KDD 2024, and a Riemannian geometry–based online change-point detection model (RIO‑CPD) presented at ICML 2024.
Overview: With ubiquitous sensing and networking capability, traditional complex physical systems have been undergoing revolutionary changes in their ICT capabilities. They are now equipped with a large number of sensors distributed across different parts of the system, which collect a tremendous amount of data from system operation.
Geological CO2 storage (GCS) involves injecting captured CO2 into deep sub-surface formations to support climate goals. The effective management of GCS relies on adaptive injection planning to dynamically control injection rates and well pressures to balance both storage safety and efficiency. Prior
Change point detection aims to identify abrupt shifts occurring at multiple points within a data sequence. This task becomes particularly challenging in the online setting, where different types of change can occur, including shifts in both the marginal and joint distributions of the data. In this paper,
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of natural language processing (NLP), providing a highly useful, task-agnostic foundation for a wide range of applications. However, directly applying LLMs to solve sophisticated problems in specific domains meets many hurdles, caused
Achieving carbon neutrality within industrial operations has become increasingly imperative for sustainable development. It is both a significant challenge and a key opportunity for operational optimization in industry 4.0. In recent years, Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) based methods offer promising
The objective of change point detection is to identify abrupt changes at potentially multiple points within a data sequence. This task is particularly challenging in the online setting where various types of changes can occur, including shifts in both the marginal and joint distributions of the data.
In today’s world, with its complex global supply chains, the difficulties and uncertainties we face offer both challenges and opportunities for making things better, especially in terms of efficiency and sustainability. These challenges grow due to unpredictable events, such as natural disasters, unexpected
Open Information Extraction (OIE) task aims at extracting structured facts from unstructured text, typically in the form of (subject, relation, object) triples. Despite the potential of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT as a general task solver, they lag behind state-of-the-art (supervised) methods
Today, each country, government, and enterprise are urged to take effective action to fight against climate change; however, an efficient method has not been found. Even a way to accurately calculate Scope 3 carbon emissions has yet to be developed. The technology of a multi-agent simulator could be
Logs play a crucial role in system monitoring and debugging by recording valuable system information, including events and status. Although various methods have been proposed to detect anomalies in log sequences, they often overlook the significance of considering relationships among system components,
Large language models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of natural language processing (NLP), providing a highly useful, task agnostic foundation for a wide range of applications. The great promise of LLMs as general task solvers motivated people to extend their functionality largely beyond
