Appier focuses on making it easy for businesses to use artificial intelligence (AI) to grow and succeed in a cross screen era. Dr Lin will lead Appier’s AI research and development team, focusing on deepening Appier’s AI technology and consolidating its leadership position in Asia.
Dr Lin is well-known in Asia’s AI community. He co-led his university’s team to victory in ACM's annual data mining and knowledge discovery competition KDD Cup six times from 2010 to 2013. His introductory machine learning textbook Learning from Data (which he co-authored) is a bestseller on Amazon, ranking 4.5 stars out of 5 and No. 2 for two artificial intelligence and machine learning categories. Online, Dr Lin’s teachings on machine learning, hosted on open learning platform Coursera, have been viewed millions of times. His research interests include machine learning, studies on new learning problems, and improvements on learning algorithms.
“In the future, interaction between humanity and artificial intelligence will be as natural as breathing,” said Dr Lin. “And yet AI isn’t merely a distant vision--it’s already a part of life today. From medicine to business strategy to advertising, AI has the potential to resolve some of the business world’s most complex issues. I’m looking forward to joining the growing ranks of AI scientists leaping from theory to practice to confront some of the real world’s problems.”
Dr Lin received his PhD and MS in computer science from the California Institute of Technology, and served as a consultant with Appier before joining the company formally.
