Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBoyang Li is an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University with 14 years of experience researching multimodal machine learning and computational narrative intelligence. His work spans industry and academia, including leadership roles at Disney Research and Baidu USA where he led narrative intelligence efforts, AutoML, and multimodal reasoning over movies and TV. He earned a PhD from Georgia Tech for building systems that learn plot graphs to support story generation and understanding, and has supervised numerous interns and postdocs while publishing extensively. Based in Singapore, he combines deep technical expertise in neural architecture search and narrative modeling with practical product-focused research in language learning and interactive entertainment. A less obvious thread through his career is a consistent focus on making AI systems that assist human creativity—helping writers, designers, and learners rather than simply automating tasks.
