I am Menghui Zhou, a second-year PhD student in the Pervasive Computing group at the University of Sheffield, UK, working under the supervision of Prof. Po Yang. I hold a bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University, and a master’s degree from the School of Software at Yunnan University, where I worked closely with Prof. Yun Yang and Prof. Po Yang.
My research primarily focuses on interpretable machine learning and its applications in healthcare and smart agriculture.
Please drop me an email if you are interested in collaborating with me.

📝 Selected Publications
Menghui Zhou, Xulong Wang, Tong Liu, Yun Yang, Po Yang
- IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering (TKDE), 2024
- This paper proposes a novel multi-task learning framework, MAGPP, which integrates an automatically learned temporal relation graph and sparse group Lasso to improve Alzheimer’s disease progression prediction using MRI data.
Automatic Temporal Relation in Multi-Task Learning
Menghui Zhou, Po Yang
- ACM SIGKDD Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD), 2023
- This paper proposes AutoTR, a novel automatic temporal relation mechanism for multi-task learning that directly learns complex and asymmetric temporal relations between tasks from data leading to improved prediction performance and high efficiency.
Robust Temporal Smoothness in Multi-Task Learning
Menghui Zhou, Yu Zhang, Yun Yang, Tong Liu, Po Yang
- AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), 2023
- The paper proposes two Robust Temporal Smoothness (RoTS) frameworks for multi-task learning that jointly capture temporal smoothness across tasks and detect outlier tasks, outperforming traditional smoothness-based methods without increasing computational complexity.
