Xue earned a Bachelor of Science degree from
Henan University of Economics and Law in 2007 followed by a Master of Science from
Shenzhen University in 2010. Xue completed a
PhD titled
Particle Swarm Optimisation for Feature Selection in Classification at Victoria University of Wellington in 2014. Her thesis supervisors were Will Browne and Mengjie Zhang. Xue then joined the faculty of the university, rising to full professor in 2022. Bing co-led the first undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in New Zealand on in artificial intelligence. She has been awarded two
Marsden grants,
Large-scale Evolutionary Feature Selection for Classification in 2016 and
Evolutionary Automated Design of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Classification in 2019. The latter project aimed to improve the design of
deep convolutional neural networks by using evolutionary computation-based approaches. Deep convolutional neural networks are used to interpret images in many situations, such as security, self-driving vehicles, and medicine. Improvements to their design would lead to better "classification accuracy, improved speed, simplicity, and interpretability". == Awards and honours ==
