Hi! My name is Jiacheng Cui (ๅด”ๅฎถ่ฏš). I am currently a Masterโ€™s student (MSc) in the Machine Learning Department at MBZUAI, working on data-centric AI and efficient learning under the supervision of Prof. Zhiqiang Shen. My research interests include data-centric AI, dataset distillation, and efficient training.

Before joining MBZUAI, I obtained a B.Sc. (Hons) in AI and Computer Science with First Class Honours from the University of Edinburgh in 2024. I am always open to academic collaboration and discussions related to my research interests.
