Yue Yang

Hi! My name is Yue Yang. I am a research scientist at PRIOR of Ai2 . I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, advised by Mark Yatskar and Chris Callison-Burch. I am interested in the intersection area of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV).

My current research focuses on applying the knowledge priors of large language models (LLMs) to various domains (images, videos, healthcare, Embodied AI, etc) to improve the Interpretability Interpretability , Robustness Robustness , and Data Efficiency Data Efficiency of AI.
