Ken Pu is an associate professor in Computer Science at Ontario Tech University. He has been actively working in the intersection of database systems, text and natural language processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence. He received his PhD in Computer Science from University of Toronto in 2006.

Zikun Fu is working on instruction tuned embedding models for semantic retrieval applications. He is currently working on benchmarks for instruction based embedding models. Zikun is currently working on his master’s degree.

Adam Bunce is completing his undergraduate honours thesis “Curricum Requirement Planning Using Constraint Programming”. His work models a typical undergraduate curriculum as a set of combinartoric constraints, and using a high performant SAT solver, his system allows students to interactively verify and plan out their current and future course selectors in order to satisfy various curriculum requirements as well as their own individual learning objectives.
