Gong Cheng is a professor at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University. He received his PhD from Southeast University. His research interests include knowledge graph, big data search, and neuro-symbolic computation with applications to knowledge-based hybrid intelligent systems such as data search engines and decision support systems. His research has been published in journals and at conferences including TKDE, WWW, SIGIR, AAAI, IJCAI, ACL, ISWC, and has received or been nominated for six best paper awards. He was a Posters & Demos co-chair of ISWC 2019.

At present, his research is focused on

• data search engine: a better data search engine, featuring data retrieval, ranking, summarization, browsing, recommendation, etc.;
• knowledge graph search: search algorithms for large knowledge graphs, e.g., efficient approximation algorithms for Steiner Tree problems;
• complex question answering: neuro-symbolic methods for question answering with applications to complex tasks such as high-school exams.
