Xuan-Son Vu

Xuan Son Vu (Member, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in information system from the University of Engineering and Technology, VNU, Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2011, the M.Sc. degree from Kyungpook National University, South Korea, in 2014, and the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Umeå University, Sweden, in 2020, with focus in privacy-preserving machine learning with big data. Before joining Umeå University, from 2015 to 2016, he was a full-time member of the UKP Laboratory, TU Darmstadt, Germany. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at Umeå University, where he focuses on research in robust machine learning. His research interests include knowledge—both acquiring knowledge from multimodal data, and using structured knowledge to power downstream applications. For the former, he has worked on ontology, information retrieval and natural language processing. For the latter, multimodal knowledge learning is one of the topics he enjoys researching the most. His awards and honors include the third place for best paper awards at CICLING 2019, the Best Student Paper Award, and the Best Inquisitive Mind Award at CICLING 2018. He also received a Best Paper Award at the 40th Conference of the Korea Information Processing Society, in 2014.
