Summary
Chao Du is a Senior Research Scientist at Sea AI Lab in Singapore with a decade of experience at the intersection of probabilistic machine learning and generative modeling. He earned his PhD from Tsinghua’s TSAIL group under Jun Zhu and Bo Zhang, and has industry research stints at NVIDIA, Microsoft Research Asia, and Alibaba.com where he translated probabilistic insights into applied ML systems. His recent work focuses on diffusion and flow-based generative models and on probing model vulnerabilities from a probabilistic, trustworthiness standpoint. Comfortable moving between theory and practice, he has a track record of shipping research-driven algorithms in industry settings and maintains an active scholarly presence via his homepage and Google Scholar. An interesting thread through his career is combining rigorous probabilistic inference with pragmatic robustness concerns, aiming to make generative models both powerful and reliable.
