Summary
Kun Jin is a Machine Learning Engineer with 11 years of experience bridging rigorous academic research and product-focused ML, currently working on recommendations and generative AI at Google. He holds a Ph.D. in ECE from the University of Michigan and dual B.S. degrees from Peking University, and his research spans trustworthy ML, mechanism design, algorithmic game theory, and recommender systems. His published work includes contributions on adversarial robustness for diffusion models and strategic fairness in performative prediction, and he co-authored a NeurIPS 2024 paper on user-creator dynamics in recommender systems. Known for translating theoretical insights into scalable systems, he has built production prototypes for scoring and pricing systems at ByteDance and Microsoft using cascaded ensembles, GNNs, and deep models. Based in Ann Arbor, he blends deep theory with hands-on engineering to improve both model reliability and product impact.
