Xiao Liu’s research aims at developing data-driven marketing solutions for enterprises by combining artificial intelligence with economic theories. In a stream of research, she has made contributions to developing new methods in cloud computing, deep learning (for natural language processing, computer vision, and multimedia analysis), representation learning, recommender systems, reinforcement learning, explainable AI, generative AI, and machine learning for causal inference. A hallmark of her research is the application of these cutting-edge methods to novel marketing arenas, including social media, e-commerce, voice shopping, live-stream shopping, influencer marketing, and the metaverse.
Xiao Liu has published in leading marketing journals, such as Marketing Science and Journal of Marketing Research, as well as machine learning conference proceedings, such as AAAI and SIGIR. Professor Liu is the recipient of the V. “Seenu” Srinivasan Young Scholar Award in Quantitative Marketing, Don Lehman Award, Paul Green Award, Don Morrison Award for Long Term Impact (Finalist), Frank Bass Award (Finalist), Marketing Science Institute (MSI) Young Scholars Award, MSI Alden G.
