Yudian Zheng (郑玉典)
I have graduated as a Ph.D. from The University of Hong Kong (HKU).
Before that, I got my B.Eng. degree from Nanjing University in 2013.
My research interests include a variety of topics, such as
(1) Leveraging human intelligence to solve complex tasks (Crowdsourcing);
(2) Cleaning dirty data (Data Cleaning);
(3) Mining patterns from web data (Data Mining).
I have published full research papers in well-established database and data mining conferences/journals, such as SIGMOD, VLDB, KDD, WWW, ICDE, TKDE, EDBT and CIKM. I have given a tutorial in SIGMOD 2017. I have also taken internships in Microsoft Research and Google Research.
