I am Ying Su, a PhD student from IIP(AI) program at HKUST since Sep 2020, advised by Prof.Yangqiu Song and Prof.Tong Zhang. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Electric and Electornic Engineering from Tsinghua University (2012-2016). Previously, I worked as a machine learning engineer at iFlyTek and Baidu AIG from Jan 2017 to Jun 2020.
