Summary
Xuyang Wu is a Machine Learning Engineer and AI researcher with 11 years of industry experience and a PhD in Information Retrieval from Santa Clara University, currently focused on search, ranking optimization, Responsible AI, and large language models. He has led production deployments and research-forward projects at Walmart Global Tech and DOCOMO Innovations, advancing multi-task/meta-learning ranking systems and vision-language head-pose estimation while publishing in top venues like NAACL, EMNLP, WWW, and ACM TOIS. Xuyang combines hands-on engineering—shipping deep learning retrieval, recommendation, and real-time computer vision systems—with rigorous fairness and bias mitigation research spanning ranking, VLMs, and RAG pipelines. His work uniquely bridges long-tail, sparse-label challenges (meta-learning LTR) and practical Responsible AI solutions, demonstrating measurable business impact (notably AUC gains on ecommerce click prediction) alongside novel academic contributions.
