This ability relies upon developing an AI operating system that can connect software and hardware efficiently – something Dr. Qirong Ho, MBZUAI Assistant Professor of Machine Learning, is working to make a reality.
For him, such an operating system is so significant because it standardizes algorithms and models and allows non-experts to create AI applications in a reliable and repeatable way.
Ho’s primary area of research interest is in software systems for the industrialization of machine learning (ML) programs. He is co-founder and CTO at Petuum Inc., a unicorn AI startup which has been recognized as a World Economic Forum Tech Pioneer for creating standardized building blocks that enable assembly-line production of AI, in a manner that is affordable, sustainable, scalable, and requires less training of AI workers.
He has a Ph.D. in machine learning and a Bachelor of Science in computational biology from Carnegie Mellon University, USA. He has published more than 70 papers with more than 3400 citations.
