Short Bio

Yue Cao is currently a researcher in Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence (BAAI), focusing on foundation model, self-supervised learning and multimodal learning.

Prior to that, he was a senior researcher at Microsoft Research Asia between 2019 and 2022, headed by Baining Guo and closely collaborated with Han Hu, Zheng Zhang and Steve Lin. His work of Swin Transformer won the Best Paper Award (Marr Prize) of ICCV 2021. He received both B.S. degree and Ph.D. degree from the School of Software, Tsinghua University with highest honors, under supervision of Prof. Jianmin Wang and Prof. Mingsheng Long in 2014 and 2019. During his Ph.D. study, he was a research intern in MSRA between 2018 and 2019, mentored by Jifeng Dai.
