计算新领域中的信息检索Information retrieval in the new computing era
Dr. Wei-Ying Ma is an Assistant Managing Director at Microsoft Research Asia where he oversees multiple research groups including Web Search and Data Mining, Natural Language Computing, and Human Computer Interaction. 
Over the years, under his leadership, Wei-Ying’s team of researchers have been recognized as one of the global powerhouses in search, data mining, and multimedia information retrieval related research.  The team transferred key technologies into Microsoft’s search and online service products.   In addition, they published extensively at major conferences such as the SIGIR, WWW, and ACM Multimedia.
Before joining Microsoft in 2001, Wei-Ying was with HP Labs in Palo Alto, California where he worked in the fields of multimedia adaptation and distributed media services infrastructure. From 1994 to 1997, Wei-Ying was engaged in the Alexandria Digital Library project at the University of California, Santa Barbara. During this time, he developed one of the first web-based image-retrieval systems, Netra, which is regarded as one of the most influential image retrieval systems.
As an active member of the research community, Wei-Ying has published more than 250 papers at international conferences.  He currently serves on the editorial boards of ACM Transactions on Information System (TOIS) and ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal.  In recent years, he served as program co-chair of WWW 2008, program co-chair of PCM 2007, general co-chair of AIRS 2008, and general co-chair of MMM 2005. 
Wei-Ying received a bachelor of science in electrical engineering from the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan in 1990.  He earned a Master of Science degree and doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 1994 and 1997, respectively.
