Summary
Pei Guo is a Data & Applied Scientist with 11 years of experience building production ML and vision systems, currently contributing to Azure AI Search and Azure Custom Vision at Microsoft. She has driven multi-hop query generation with GraphRAG and evaluated RAG systems, and led vision-based self-checkout work that applies large foundation models to real-world product flows. Previously at DiDi and AutoNavi she bridged research and production—turning planner papers into working prototypes, improving object tracking, and significantly boosting traffic sign detection metrics. Holding a Ph.D. in Computer Science from BYU and dual telecom engineering degrees from top Beijing universities, she combines deep academic rigor with pragmatic engineering. Her personal mottos—“In relentless pursuit of ultimate truth” and “doubt not, fear not”—hint at a persistent, curiosity-driven approach to resolving ambiguous, high-impact problems.
