Huayan Wang

I was a Ph.D. student in Computer Science Department, Stanford University working with Prof. Daphne Koller from 2009 to 2014.

I helped build intelligent machines at Vicarious from 2014 to 2018.

Now I'm leading Kwai Silicon Valley Lab.

MAP inference

We developed a tool for MAP inference (energy minimization). It is based on our two ICML 2013 papers. The code

We also collected 29 datasets with 2,757 MAP inference tasks from a variety of sources.
