About Me (full bio)

Dr. Quanming Yao is currently a senior scientist in 4Paradigm and leading the company's machine learning research group. He obtained his Ph.D. degree at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2018 and received his bachelor degree at HuaZhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2013. He is a receipt of Wunwen Jun Prize of Excellence Youth of Artificial Intelligence (issued by CAAI), the runner up of Ph.D. Research Excellence Award (School of Engineering, HKUST), and a winner of Google Fellowship (in machine learning).

Research Focus

My research focus on making machine learning faster, more compact and robust. I wish to develop easy and intuitive methods, which can be used by many others with, perhaps, not much professional knowledge of underneath methods.
