Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Machine Learning, MBZUAI
Dr Gus Xia is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Machine Learning Department at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI).
Biography
Dr Xia is a Global Network Assistant Professor in Computer Science at New York University, Shanghai. He also holds affiliations at Tandon, CILVR at the Center for Data Science, and MARL at Steinhardt. He received his Ph.D. in the machine learning department at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in 2016, and he was a Neukom Fellow at Dartmouth from 2016 to 2017.
Xia is also a professional Di and Xiao (Chinese flute and vertical flute) player. He plays as a soloist in the NYU Shanghai Jazz ensemble, Pitt Carpathian Ensemble, and Chinese Music Institute of Peking University.
Xia’s research is very interdisciplinary. He is broadly interested in the design of interactive intelligent systems to extend human musical creation and expression. This research lies in the intersection of machine learning, HCI, robotics, and computer music. Some representative works include interactive composition via style transfer, human-computer interactive performances, autonomous dancing robots, large-scale content-based music retrieval, haptic guidance for flute tutoring, and bio-music computing using slime mold.
