About Me
My name is Yanhong Wu (武延宏), currently a Staff Research Scientist at Visa Research. Prior to joining Visa, I was a Post-doctoral Researcher at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center conducting research on abnormal detection and analysis using graph algorithms. I also worked at Aviz Lab @ INRIA and Microsoft Research Asia as a visiting scholar focusing on large graph mining and visualization.
I received my Ph.D. degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology advised by Prof. Huamin Qu and got my bachelor degree at Software School, Fudan University in June 2013. During my college study, I was a research assistant at Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, supervised by Prof. Haibo Chen.
My research areas include Graph Modeling, Deep Learning, and Visual Analytics.
