Biography
Dr. MA is the Head of Cognitive Computing Team and leads the Project NWM (NIO World Model). NWM is A Real-World Scenario, Generating Thousands of Parallel Worlds, Learning and Reasoning in Imagination.
Prior to 2023, Dr. MA leads the Model Infra Team which delivers the NIO's Navigate-on-Pilot (NOP) and ADaaS (Autonomous Driving-as-a-Service) OneModel and the Bird-eye-view perception model. After extreme model optimizing, the perception tasks achieve 30HZ with 500FPS on the Orin platform. He is also responsible for auto labeling models and large-scale unsupervised learning of world model.
Ningning Ma received his PhD degree in computer science from HKUST, supervised by Prof. Long QUANand Dr. Jian SUN, collaborated with Dr. Xiangyu ZHANG. Before that, He got his master's degree in computer science from Tsinghua University. His research interests are in autonomous driving, computer vision and deep learning.
