Zhaolin Gao
I’m a second-year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Cornell University, where I am advised by Thorsten Joachims and Wen Sun. My research includes reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and recommendation systems. My work has been published at NeurIPS, CVPR, WWW, SIGIR, RecSys, and INFOCOM.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering at University of Toronto, where I had the privilege of working with Baochun Li, Scott Sanner, and Maksims Volkovs.
I am also a part-time content creator with more than 50,000 followers and 10 million views on Bilibili, Douyin, and YouTube.
