Richard He Bai
I’m a Research Scientist at Apple MLR working on coding post-training and self-improving agents, including SSD, DuST, and RSI-Inference Bench. Previously, I developed speech representations and streaming generation methods, including dMel and SpeakStream.
Across these areas, I look for simple methods that address fundamental bottlenecks in how models learn and operate.
I completed my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, with a dissertation titled "Novel Methods for Natural Language Modeling and Pretraining", under the supervision of Professor Ming Li. Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained a Master's degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I began my NLP research journey under the mentorship of Professor Chengqing Zong.
