Bio

• Hongwei Wang is now a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science Department, Stanford University. His research interests include machine learning and data mining, particularly in graph representation learning mechanisms, algorithms and their applications in real-world data mining scenarios such as recommender systems, knowledge graphs, social networks, and sentiment analysis.
• Hongwei Wang received Ph.D. degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2018, and B.E. degree from ACM Class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2014. He was an intern at Microsoft Research Asia and Meituan-Dianping Group. He was one of the recipients of 2018 Google PhD Fellowship.

Misc.

• I am a cinephile. Some of my favorite directors are Ang Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, and Steven Spielberg. I also like writing reviews.
• I am a fan of Chinese classical poetry. I used to write one when I was in the first year of PhD, after my mom saw me off at the station:
