Xie is a recipient of a number of awards, including the IEEE MDM 2023 Test-of-Time Award, ACM SIGKDD 2022 Test-of-Time Award, ACM SIGKDD China 2021 Test-of-Time Award, ACM SIGSPATIAL 2020 10-Year Impact Award Honorable Mention, and ACM SIGSPATIAL 2019 10-Year Impact Award. Some of his keynote speeches include MDM 2019,[7] ASONAM 2017,[8] and W2GIS 2011.[9] He has been named a DeepTech Pioneer in China's Intelligent Computing Technology Innovation[10] and is a fellow of the ACM,[11] IEEE,[12] and China Computer Federation.[13]

Education

edit

Xie went through Nanchang No.10 Middle School in Jiangxi Province, China.[14] In 1992, he enrolled in the University of Science and Technology of China for both his B.S. and Ph.D. He graduated from the Department of Computer Science in 2001.[15]

Career

edit

In July 2001, Xie started as an associate researcher at Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing, China where he held a number of research roles including senior principal researcher.[16][17][18]

Around 2009, his group was interested in data mining to learn user interests and therefore recommend travel route, restaurants, and social connections. As smartphones and other data creating devices became more common, the impact grew accordingly and later created the foundation for research into responsible AI practices. This interdisciplinary research led to them becoming pioneers in this field.[19]

In 2022, large language models made impressive progress, changing the landscape of many areas and bringing significant impact to society. Microsoft Research responded by naming Xie to lead their Societal AI initiative to remove bias, instill fairness, and detoxify language, among other goals to ensure AI is encountable to society[20] as the technological tool evolves into more of a society entity that that exerts significant influence.[21]

Editorial activities

edit

Xie has served on various editorial boards including ACM Transactions on Recommender Systems, ACM Transactions on Social Computing, ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology, and CCF Transactions on Pervasive Computing and Interaction,[22][23] among others.[24][25]
