Bio
My name is Guangchi (Luke) Liu and I am currently a professor of computer science at Southeast Univesity. I received my B.S. and M.S. degree from Southeast Univesity and Ph.D. in in Compuer Science from Montana State University, U.S.A under the supervision of Dr. Qing Yang. My research interests lie in the areas of Social Computing and Security, Trust Network, Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, etc.
I used to be an industry research lead in the U.S. for 5 years. Under my supervision, my team prototyped and productionized numerious social media and opinion analysis systems, which have been used by more than 100 companies around the world. More details can be found at my personal webiste https://gc-liu.github.io/ .
Research Interests
Social Computing and Security, Trust Network, Natrual Language Processing, Machine Learning and Internet of Things.
Open Positions
I'm actively looking for strongly self-motivated undergraduate, master, and Ph.D. researchers. Please send me your CV if you are interested in joining us! All of the team members I have mentored are currently working at well-known tech/financial companies including Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Anasys, JP Morgan, Deloitte, etc. or pursuing Ph.D. degree at colleges including North Carolina State Univ., Fudan Univ., etc.

Selected Projects
Project I: Dissemination of Multimodal Information in Directed Graph
Keywords: Graph Machine Learning, Graph Signal Processing, White-box Neural Network
Based upon the latest graph machine learning and interpretable machine learning approaches, this research aims to design a data-driven yet interpretable framework towards modeling multimodal information dissemination in network scenarios. Applications of this research include opinion dissemination modeling, trust network data verification, etc.
Project II: Trust Modeling in Network Scenarios
Keywords: Evidence Theory, Trust Network, Graph Theory, Neural Netwrok
This research contains a series of approaches for modeling trust relations in network scenarios accurately, efficiently and practically. Applications of this research include online disinformation analysis, troll account detection, and trust assessment for network traffic, etc.
Project III: Social Media Analysis
Keywords: Topic Modeling, Extreme Large Multlabel Classification, Sentiment Analysis
In this research, we employ NLP and machine learning approaches to develop a series of opinion analysis systems that provide business insights from social media data in an automatic, timely and interpretable manner. This research encompasses my work as the industry lead.
