I moved to Alibaba since 2015 and no longer take any graduate student. We, however, do have openings for post-doc position in Alibaba, with focus on machine learning, image/video analysis, and optimization. You can contact me by jinrong.jr@alibaba-inc.com.


Research        
Statistical learning theory for big data analysis and its application to various domains including web document retrieval, content-based image retrieval, gene regulatory network reconstruction, neuron data analysis, and visual object recognition. Here is my latest Curriculum Vitae and Google Scholar.
