Xiaodong He is a Principal Researcher in the Deep Learning Technology Center of Microsoft Research, Redmond, WA, USA. He is also an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington (Seattle), serves in doctoral supervisory committees. His research interests are mainly in artificial intelligence areas including deep learning, natural language, computer vision, speech, information retrieval, and knowledge representation.
He has published more than 100 papers in ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, CVPR, SIGIR, WWW, CIKM, NIPS, ICLR, ICASSP, Proc. IEEE, IEEE TASLP, IEEE SPM, and other venues. He received several awards including the Outstanding Paper Award at ACL 2015. He has led the development of the MSR-NRC-SRI entry and the MSR entry that won the No. 1 Place in the 2008 NIST Machine Translation Evaluation and the 2011 IWSLT Evaluation (Chinese-to-English), respectively. He is also a co-inventor of the DSSM (2013, 2014a, 2014b), which is broadly applied to language, vision, IR and knowledge representation tasks. More recently, he and colleagues developed the MSR image captioning system that achieves the highest score in the Turing test and won the first prize, tied with Google, at the COCO Captioning Challenge 2015. His work was reported by Communications of the ACM in January 2016. He is leading the image captioning effort now is part of Microsoft Cognitive Services and CaptionBot. The work was widely covered in media including Business Insider, TechCrunch, Forbes, The Washington Post, CNN, BBC. The services also support applications such as Seeing AI, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, etc.
He has held editorial positions on several IEEE Journals, served as an area chair for NAACL-HLT 2015, and served in the organizing committee/program committee of major speech and language processing conferences. He is an elected member of the IEEE SLTC for the term of 2015-2017. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ACL. He was elected as the Chair of the IEEE Seattle Section in 2016.
He received a bachelor degree from Tsinghua University (Beijing) in 1996, MS degree from Chinese Academy of Sciences (Beijing) in 1999, and the PhD degree from the University of Missouri – Columbia in 2003.
