Dr. Hung H. Bui

Former Google DeepMind, Adobe Research, SRI AI Center. IMO Silver Medalist.

Prior to joining VinAI, he held critical positions at Google DeepMind, Adobe Research, and Nuance Natural Language Understanding Lab. He also spent almost a decade at the AI Center, SRI International (formerly Stanford Research Institute), where he led the multi-institution research team in developing probabilistic inference technologies for understanding user activities during the CALO project. It was the largest AI project at the time and led to Apple's Siri. His technical expertise and interests range from probabilistic graphical models, deep generative models, Bayesian inference to machine- learning especially models for sequential and relational data with applications in human activity/intent recognition, video understanding, and natural language processing.
