About Me

Hello, I am Yang (Austin) Xiao, Xiao is my last name. Now I am a software engineer at Fortemedia.

Recently I graduated as a CS Master student at NTU advised by Chng Eng Siong. I obtained my B.Eng degree from Jilin University. Then I worked as a software development engineer at China Mobile for one year.

I am contributing to building “easy-to-use”, “efficient”, and “robust” next-generation data-centric AI systems. At this moment, I mainly work in the data-centric speech learning system. Specifically, continual learning, active learning apply in the speech domain to make the learning system continual, real-time and efficient.
