About me

Greetings! 🤗

Giang Nguyen (or Dexter) is a 4th-year computer science PhD student at Auburn University, US, working with Anh Nguyen. He is also a Presidential Fellow as he was awarded the most prestigious Presidential Graduate Research Fellowship at Auburn University in 2021. 🎉

Prior to joining Auburn, he earned his M.Sc. in Computer Science at KAIST, South Korea in August 2020. 🇰🇷

During his PhD, he has been working as a Summer Research Associate at JP Morgan AI Research, Manhattan, NYC, NY, in the summer of 2024. 🏙️

His research interests are Explainable AI and Human-AI Interaction. He has published at top-tier AI conferences (e.g. NeurIPS, CVPR) and been an active reviewer for premier AI research venues, such as CVPR, NeurIPS, ICCV, ICLR, and ICML. 📚

You can see his latest resume here. 📄

Interesting fact: He loves nearest-neighbor-based explanations! 🤖

• Giang has been actively showing the utility of nearest-neighbor explanations for human users in downstream decision-making applications. Check out his NeurIPS2021, NeurIPS2022, CVPRW2024, and TMLR2024 papers. 📃

Working with Giang? 👨‍💻

I have the capacity to mentor undergraduate or Master’s students conducting AI research. Our latest collaboration effort has resulted in this paper.
