I am Zhiping Xiao (肖之屏), go by Patricia. I joined the ScAi (Scalable Analytics Institute) Lab in fall, 2018, advised by Prof. Yizhou Sun. Coadvised by Prof. Mason A. Porter
Graduated in year 2024 and became a postdoc researcher in University of Washington, working with Moving on as a postdoc researcher in UW mentored by Prof. Sheng Wang.
Previously, I had experience working on Visualization and Human-Computer-Interaction (+Education).
My current interest lies in data mining and machine learning, especially those topics involving heterogeneous information network.
My UCLA CS account ID is patricia.xiao. Ways to find me include:
Duke & Chen Institute Joint Boot Camp for AI & AI Accelerated Medical Research
Machine Learning + Data Mining
Machine Learning + Data Mining
Human Computer Interaction + Education
Computer Networking (most work done before 2015)
Ehocardiogram
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Panoramic Dental X-ray
the illustration image I currently put here came from a review. I use this example because we have close connection to UW cardiology researchers.

I graduated from the Master of Science program in University of California, Berkeley.
Degree awarded on May 11, 2018.
There my focus was on HCI (human-computer interaction) + Edu (education), and reached out to use deep learning models.
I received my BS degree from Peking University at 2016 summer, graduated in July. The fields of research I participated in as a undergrad includes:
at Scalable Analytics Institute (ScAi), University of California at Los Angeles, advised by Prof. Yizhou Sun and Prof. Mason A. Porter.
at Machine Learning Group, Amazon AWS, mentored by Dr. Chengguang Wang.
at Berkeley Institute of Design (BiD Lab), University of California at Berkeley, advised by Teaching Prof. Dan Garcia
at Tianyancha Algorithm Team, Jindi Tech, mentored by Dr. Chao Liu and Mr. Hao Cheng.
