Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaicen Xiao is a Machine Learning Engineer IV at Adobe and a final-year PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering with eight years of experience building recommender systems, generative AI, computer vision, and reinforcement learning solutions. His work spans applied research and production: from reward shaping and human-in-the-loop RL during his PhD to deploying causal and recommendation models at scale at Adobe. He has driven measurable improvements in robust RL for autonomous driving in industry internships and published practical methods for adversarial and multi-agent settings. Based in Sunnyvale, he blends deep theoretical training in applied mathematics with hands-on engineering—often bridging research prototypes into REST APIs and time-series/recommender pipelines. Notably, he has shifted seamlessly between academic experiments on CNN semantics and production-grade generative AI features, signaling a strong track record of turning complex ML research into usable systems.
