AboutDr. Yucheng Jin is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong Baptist University. He worked as a senior UX designer in Lenovo Research from December 2016 to March 2021 and chiefly designed several influential industry chatbots such as Moli. Some of his designed products also won the design awards of iF and Red Dot. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of Leuven (KU Leuven) in 2019 and the M.Sc. degree from Technical University of Munich (TUM) in 2013. He received his bachelor's degree in management from Wuhan University in 2010. His research is situated in the long-standing quest to "augment the human intellect." The current research topics include 1) improving user interaction with AI systems, such as recommender systems, smart devices, and 2) augmenting human design creativity through AI technologies such as GANs. He has published more than 20 papers in the leading conferences and journals of Human-Computer Interaction (e.g., IUI, UMAP, RecSys, AVI, UMUAI.) and held more than ten patents. Moreover, he has participated in two EU Commission-funded research projects, FP7-Serenoa (€5,100,000) and Horizon2020-TAPPS (€895,280).
