AMAP-ML: Foundation AI for Spatial and Generative Intelligence

I lead AMAP-ML at Alibaba Group, a 100+ member product-facing AI team building foundation systems for Alibaba AMAP’s mapping, mobility, local-service, content, and interactive AI scenarios.

Our mission: Build foundation AI for spatial intelligence and generative intelligence. We connect academic rigor, open-source reproducibility, engineering discipline, and real-world product deployment.

100+ product-facing AI team members

30+ open-source AMAP-ML projects

45+ recent top-venue papers from AMAP-ML

300M+ users served by AMAP products every day
