Yue Wang

I am a Senior Research Scientist at Salesforce AI Research working on building code large language models (LLMs). Specifically, I lead or co-lead a series of research projects including CodeT5, CodeT5+, and CodeRL, which are foundation models for code understanding and generation. Besides, I co-lead an applied project named ApexGuru, which aims to leverage LLMs for automatically detecting and optimizing anti-patterns in Apex code.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Michael R. Lyu and Prof. Irwin King. Prior to that, I received my B.Sci. from Sun Yat-sen University with an outstanding graduate honor. During my study, I have been fortunate to intern at multiple cutting-edge research labs including Microsoft Research Asia, AWS AI Lab, Salesforce AI Research, and Tencent AI Lab.

In general: Machine Learning for Code, Natural Language Processing, Multimodal Learning

• LLMs for Code: Large Language Model Pretraining for Code, Code Understanding and Generation.
• Multimodal Learning: Vision-Language Pretraining, Visual Dialog, Cross-media Understanding.
