Yaqing Wang (王雅晴)

Researcher, Baidu Research

I obtained my Ph.D degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). During my Ph.D study period, I was co-supervised by Prof Lionel M. Ni and Prof. James T. Kwok. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor degree in School of Computer Science and Technology, Shandong University, 2014. I am now working at Baidu Research.

Research Interests

My current research topics include:

Online learning algorithms.
Few-shot learning and zero-shot learning.
Scalable convolutional sparse representation learning.
Sample-dependent representation learning.
Sparse and low-rank learning.
Automated machine learning.
Spatial temporal data mining.
