I am an associate researcher in the Web Search & Mining Group at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing.

I received my B.S. and Master's degree from the Information and Engineering University, and my PhD degree in EE from Tsinghua University in July, 2005.

My major research interests are image retrieval, object recognition and statistical machine learning. I'm especially interested in tackling the problem of mining and learning from heterogeneous and relational data, i.e. the coupled Web images, their surrounding texts and hyperlinks. The goal is to learn the intrinsic similarity/link structure to improve search performance.

Currently I put my main effort into large-scale image understanding.

Here is my CV.

In my leisure time, I love swimming and outdoor activities with my family.
