Template:Chinese name

Fei-Fei Li (born 1976), who publishes under the name Li Fei-Fei (simplified Chinese: 李飞飞; traditional Chinese: 李飛飛), is a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University. She is the director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Lab (SAIL) [2] and the Stanford Vision Lab.[3] In 2017, she co-founded AI4ALL, a nonprofit working to increase diversity and inclusion in artificial intelligence.[4][5] She works in the areas of computer vision and cognitive neuroscience.[6]

Education

Li emigrated from China and joined her father in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey, where she graduated from Parsippany High School in 1995,[7][8] after which she obtained her B.S. degree in physics from Princeton University in 1999 with High Honors. Her PhD degree is in electrical engineering from California Institute of Technology in 2005. Her graduate studies were supported by The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans.[citation needed]

Career

From 2005 to August 2009, she was an assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Computer Science Department at Princeton University, respectively. She joined Stanford in 2009 as an assistant professor, and was promoted to associate professor with tenure in 2012.[citation needed]

Research

Fei-Fei works on computer vision, cognitive neuroscience and computational neuroscience, and Big Data analysis. She has authored more than 100 scientific articles.[9] Her work appears in computer science and neuroscience journals including Nature,[10] Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, [11] Journal of Neuroscience ,[12] Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, International Conference on Computer Vision, Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems, European Conference on Computer Vision, International Journal of Computer Vision, and IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence.[13] She has been described as an AI pioneer and researcher bringing "humanity to AI".[14]

Among her best-known work is the ImageNet project, which has revolutionized the field of large-scale visual recognition.[1][15][16][17][18]

Fei- Fei took a leave from Stanford University and joined Google as the Chief Scientist of the AI & ML department of Google Cloud Platform in 2017.[19] In September 2018, Google announced that Fei-Fei will be returning to Stanford University but will work as an advisor.[20]

Awards and honors

Fei-Fei is the recipient of the 2014 IBM Faculty Fellow Award, the 2011 Alfred Sloan Faculty Award, the 2012 Yahoo Labs FREP Award, the 2009 NSF CAREER Award, and the 2006 Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship.[21] She has been featured in media venues such as the New York Times[22] and Science Magazine.[23]

In 2018 she was featured among "America's Top 50 Women In Tech" by Forbes.[24] She was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2018 for "contributions in building large knowledge bases for machine learning and visual understanding".[25]

Personal life

Li's husband is Silvio Savarese, who directs the Computational Vision and Geometry Labat Stanford University.[citation needed]
