Hi, I am Chongyang Tao Currently, I am a pre-tenure associate professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University. Before this, I served as a postdoctoral and senior scientist at Microsoft, contributing to projects such as Microsoft Xiaoice, ChatwithBING, Bing Retrieval/Generative Model, and WizardLM. I obtained the Ph.D. degree from Peking University in 2020, under the supervision of Prof. Dongyan Zhao and Prof. Rui Yan, and the B. Eng degree from Sichuan University in 2015.
My research lie in natural language processing and information retrieval, especially in deep learning models with their applications in dialogue systems, data intelligence, effective and generalizable IR.
More specifically, my research vision centers on flexibly and effectively ushering humans into the world of knowledge through natural language. This includes understanding complex user inputs in human-machine intelligence and seeking knowledge from various data sources based on these inputs.
I have published over 70 papers in prestigious conferences and journals such as ACL, EMNLP, ICLR, NeurIPS, SIGIR, KDD, and TOIS. I have been honored with the NLPCC Outstanding Paper Award and the Aminer AI-2000 Scholar, and have served as an area chair or meta-reviewer for leading academic conferences like KDD, EMNLP, and CCKS.
