Released the RaBitQ Library - a new open-source library for advanced quantization algorithm RaBitQ and high-accuracy, low-memory vector search. Delivered multiple talks at international conferences on topics including high-dimensional vector quantization, nearest neighbor search, reinforcement learning for spatial data management, and dense subgraph mining.
Research Experience
From 2016 to 2018, he was a lecturer at Queen's University Belfast, UK.
Education
Received his PhD degree from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, in 2015, and his BEng degree from South China University of Technology, China, in 2010.
Background
Currently an Associate Professor at the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His research interests are broadly in databases and machine learning. Recently, he has been working on vector databases (and its applications in large models such as retrieval-augmented generative AI) and machine learning (on spatial data, time series, graphs, etc.).
