Speakers:
Liang Zhang: Director of Machine Learning Engineering at LinkedIn, leading LinkedIn Search and Sales Solution AI efforts. During his time at LinkedIn, Liang has led a lot of critical AI projects in many different products (Ads, Feed, Email and notification, Jobs, and Search) to success and brought great improvements of experiences to the 500M+ professional users of LinkedIn through the cutting-edge AI technology. Liang has published extensively in top-tier computer science conferences as well as statistics journals, and also coauthored 20+ AI-related patents. Liang also served as the Program Committee members for various data mining and machine learning venues.
Rui Wang: Rui is currently a AI/ML researcher at Uber AI, leading research and engineering projects in deep reinforcement learning, neuroevolution, etc., and is passionate about advancing fundamental research in AI/ML and connecting cutting-edge advances to the broader business and products. His most recent research work on open-ended AI algorithm was covered by Science.
Garret Catron: Software engineer at Facebook and developer on the Glow team, Garret is focused on making the Glow Runtime both performant and stable.
Weiwei Guo: senior software engineer at LinkedIn where he leads several efforts to apply the deep learning models into search productions. Previously, he was a research scientist in Yahoo! Labs working on query understanding. Weiwei has published over 20 papers in top conferences including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, SIGIR with 1000+ citations. He has served Program Committee for many conferences including ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AAAI.
Huiji Gao: Huiji leads the AI Algorithms Foundation team at LinkedIn. He has broad interests in machine learning/AI and its applications, including recommender systems, computational advertising, search ranking, and natural language processing. He has filed over 10 U.S. patents and published 40 publications in top journals and conferences including KDD, AAAI, CIKM, WWW, ICDM, SDM, DMKD with thousands of citations.
Xiaowei Liu: Xiaowei is a software engineer in AI Algorithms Foundation team at LinkedIn. She is energetically developing and promoting advanced AI technology to power various search related products, including language understanding and search ranking.
