Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xintao Wu is a professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville whose research focuses on machine learning, particularly in the areas of fairness, privacy, and anomaly detection. Wu has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for two projects totaling $634,828. The first, a $484,828 grant for which Wu served as Co-PI, is titled "Counterfactually Fair Machine Learning through Causal Modeling." The second, a $150,000 grant where Wu was the PI, is "EAGER: Towards Fair Regression under Sample Selection Bias."

Wu's recent publications span diverse applications of computational techniques, including log anomaly detection using BERT, deep learning for insider threat detection, and fairness-aware federated learning. Further research includes work on statistical and causal fairness, removing disparate impact in differentially private stochastic gradient descent, and adaptive fairness-aware online meta-learning. Wu also has recent work investigating large visual language models for medical imaging analysis.

With a career h-index of 40 and over 5,900 citations across more than 350 publications, Wu is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville include Wen Huang and Minh–Hao Van, with whom Wu has co-authored five publications. Alycia N. Carey and Kevin Labille are also frequent collaborators.
