My research interests are at the intersection of Human Computer Interaction and Deep Learning.
I currently focus on general deep learning research, and models for solving human interactive intelligence
and improving user experiences. In my spare time, I build and fix things.
Check out my recent treehouse project.
Bio · Yang is a Senior Staff Research Scientist at Google Research, and an affiliate faculty member at University of Washington CSE. He earned a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and conducted postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley EECS. He led the development of next app prediction on Android that is in use by tens of millions of users, which pioneered on-device interactive ML on Android, and wrote Gesture Search, an once popular tool on Android that shows the promise of gesture-based interaction. Yang has extensively published in top venues across both the HCI and ML fields, including CHI, UIST, ICML, ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, NeurIPS (NIPS), ICLR and KDD, and has constantly served on program committees.
