Prof. Li Xiao

Chinese Academy of Sciences

Experience

Li  Xiao is a professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. He has been deeply contributing to the AI algorithm and AI driven biomedical research. He systematically solved the problems of medical feature recognition and multimodal fusion under non-ideal data conditions such as sparse data annotation, domain migration, strong interference, etc.. He proposed a series of methods to enhance the generalization and robustness of the models,  initiated new research topics on new neural network training methods based on stochastic optimization theory, multi-source knowledge-driven image report generation method, and achieved the state-of-the-art performances on several tasks such as disease diagnosis, lesion recognition, report generation, keypoints detection, published nearly 30 papers on well-known journals or conferences as the first/corresponding/co-corresponding author. He also led the development of the first high-throughput subcellular interaction intelligent quantification system(integrated into the AMIRA platform) and the first whole-process intelligent karyotyping diagnosis system, which was successfully adopted by several top research groups including Academician Tao Xu’s team at the Institute of Biophysics Chinese Academy of Sciences and Academician Qiao Jie’s team at the Peking University Third Hospital, and obtained five authorized patents and transferred to relevant companies with millions of yuan. He has won the Hundred Talents Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (with preferential support), the CCF-Tencent Rhinoceros Bird Excellence Award, etc.
