Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShaohua Li is a machine learning researcher and Scientist II based in Singapore with 17 years of experience applying deep learning to computer vision and natural language processing, currently focusing on concept grounding in videos at the Institute of High Performance Computing. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from Nanyang Technological University and has a strong academic-to-industry trajectory that includes postdoctoral work on deep generative models and early contributions to search engines and recommendation systems. His background spans Bayesian methods and graphical models to modern GANs and multimodal learning, reflecting a rare breadth from probabilistic foundations to cutting-edge neural approaches. Notably, he has hands-on experience turning research into production-ready systems—from product-clustering and web content extraction at Dangdang to telecom file converters—showing a practical bent alongside deep research interests. He is selective about roles and explicitly not seeking data scientist positions, preferring work that furthers computer science research with tangible benefits for people's well-being.
