Yang, Yiding

I’m a Research Scientist with TikTok working on Generative AI. Previously, I was a researcher with Wormpex AI Research, working on AI in retail. I obtained Ph.D. degree from Stevens Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Xinchao Wang. Prior to that, I obtained my M.S. and B.S. degrees both from Beijing Institute of Technology. My interests include Computer Vision, Deep Graph Model.
