About me
My name is Kun Xu. I am now a principle research scientist & Manager in Kuaishou Technology.
From 2018.09 to 2021.12, I was a Senior Researcher at Tencent AI Lab, Seattle, US. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral researcher at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, US.
I obtained a PhD degree in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning from Peking University. My work was supervised by Yansong Feng and Dongyan Zhao.
My research interests cover topics in NLP, such as Multi-Modal Natural Language Processing, Semantic Parsing, Knowledge Based Question Answering, Information Extraction, Natural Language Interface to Databases.
You can find me at: Google Scholar.
We are hiring Multiple Full-time and Intern Openings !!!
We are looking for highly-motivated talented NLP scientists/engineers to work in a world-class team on many high-impact projects. Please drop me a CV if interested!
