Haoyu Dong

À propos

I’m Haoyu Dong, a senior researcher at Microsoft Research and AI. My work primarily revolves around developing deep learning models that enhance table understanding and reasoning. Gladly, our work, Neural Formatting for Spreadsheet Tables, was nominated for the best full research paper at CIKM’20. Recently, I’ve been concentrating on fine-tuning GPT on table applications in for Excel Copilot, especially our recent work SpreadsheetLLM  (Top-voted paper on Hugging Face: 1st for the day (opens in new tab), 2nd for the month (opens in new tab)).

I had the pleasure of co-founding the first Table Representation Learning (TRL) Workshop at NeurIPS in 2022, and have continued to co-organize it in 2023 and 2024. I also served on the steering committee for the Tabular Data Analysis (TaDA) workshop at VLDB’23. Recently, I co-presented a tutorial on «Large Language Models for Tabular Data» (opens in new tab) with Zhiruo at the SIGIR’24 conference. And I gave a keynote on «Spreadsheet Intelligence and Tabular Data Analytics» with Shi at the VLDB’2024 TaDA workshop.

We’re looking for interns! If you’re interested, please feel free to reach out to me by email with your application. Thanks!
