Hi, I am currently a staff member at Data Analytics and Intelligence Lab, Alibaba Tongyi. My interest largely lies in the research, systems, and their practical applications related to efficient Machine Learning, Federated Learning (FL), Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multimodal Learning.

I’ve published over 30 technical papers, a number of which I’ve led as the first author and were presented at top-tier conferences such as ICML, NeurIPS, ICLR, KDD, SIGMOD, ACL and SIGIR. In addition to this, I’m glad to have the opportunity to be founding/core contributor for several open-source projects, such as Data-Juicer (a data processing system for any LLMs), FederatedScope (an easy-to-use FL platform) and AgentScope (a multi-agent LLM platform).

Collaborations and internships are welcome! Contact: daoyuanchen.cdy[AT]alibaba-inc.com; chendaoyuan[AT]pku.edu.cn

Creativity is intelligence having fun.

When it comes to leisure, I enjoy basketball, photography, playing the guitar, and listening to music - R&B and hip-hop being my genre of choice.
