Seminar, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, The University of Hong Kong,
Invited departmental seminar at HKU ECE (20 May 2026, 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM).
Conference Oral, International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML),
Oral presentation at ICML 2024 for our paper InfoNet: Neural Estimation of Mutual Information without Test-time Optimization. The talk introduced the foundation-model paradigm for mutual information estimation — a Transformer pre-trained on large-scale synthetic distributions that estimates the MI of arbitrary 1-D variable pairs in a zero-shot manner, ~100x faster than prior neural methods.
