Senior🎓
Top SchoolYa-liang Chang is a Team Lead and data scientist with 11 years of experience, currently guiding a Taboola team to build scalable MLOps, NLP, and recommendation systems that have driven measurable uplift in publisher subscription rates. He combines hands-on research in computer vision (video inpainting, action and face recognition with publications at ICCV/BMVC/CVPR workshops) with production-grade engineering—replacing legacy NLU services and shipping multi-language text pipelines. At Taboola he scaled data processing, A/B testing, and a similarity search system for e-commerce matching while mentoring junior engineers into mid-level roles. Trained at National Taiwan University and with internship research at Microsoft, he bridges academic rigor and product-focused delivery, often tackling cross-modal representation and video-centric problems that sit at the intersection of research and applied ML.
