Dr. Yang is an Assistant Professor at School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (CIDSE), Arizona State University. His primary interests lie in Cognitive Robotics, Computer Vision, and Robot Vision, especially exploring visual primitives in human action understanding from visual input, grounding them by natural language as well as high-level reasoning over the primitives for intelligent robots. His research mainly focused on solutions to visual learning, which significantly reduces the time to program intelligent agents.
