Today on August 28th, I got some exclusive information from NetEase Technology. It seems there have been some changes at Baidu's Research Institute. According to the report, Wang Haifeng, who is currently serving as Baidu’s Vice President and leads the Artificial Intelligence Group (AIG), will be taking up additional responsibilities. He will now oversee the institute alongside his current duties. Interestingly, Lin Yuanqing, the previous president of the Research Institute, has stepped down from his position, though the details regarding his new role remain unclear.
When I reached out to a Baidu spokesperson for confirmation, they mentioned that they were still gathering more information on this development.
Lin Yuanqing has an impressive background with extensive research expertise in machine learning and computer vision. Before joining Baidu, he was leading the Media Analytics Department at NEC Labs America. His contributions in these fields have been quite noteworthy.
Attached below is Wang Haifeng's profile. As Baidu’s VP, he is responsible for managing the search engine, mobile Baidu, information feed, Baidu News, mobile browser, translation services, natural language processing, voice search, image search, internet data mining, knowledge graphs, smart assistants, and more. Dr. Wang is also a highly respected figure in academia, being the only Chinese national residing in mainland China to serve as President of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) and one of its youngest Fellows. Additionally, he holds multiple leadership roles within various international academic associations, conferences, and journals.
While this news is still unfolding, it highlights the dynamic nature of AI research at Baidu and how key figures like Wang Haifeng continue to play pivotal roles in shaping the future of artificial intelligence and related technologies.
This change at the Research Institute could potentially signal further advancements or shifts in Baidu's strategic focus toward cutting-edge innovations, especially given Wang Haifeng’s broad range of technical competencies and professional experiences. I’ll keep an eye on any updates regarding Lin Yuanqing’s next move as well.
