Senior Research Engineer at A*STAR - Agency for Science, Technology and Research
Singapore
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolHong Yang is a Senior Research Engineer with 8 years of experience applying C++, MATLAB, and machine learning to computer vision, robotics, and multimodal AI research at A*STAR and the National University of Singapore. He has built end-to-end systems—from real-time UAV swarm algorithms and deployment on NVIDIA TX2 to Dockerized OCR and a Gradio visual-grounding chatbot that ties deep segmentation with ChatGPT. His recent work includes creating a procedural video-QA benchmark and a Statistical Relation Distillation technique that improves scene-graph long-tail recall, demonstrating strength in both dataset curation and model-level innovation. Trained at NUS and top-ranked in his undergraduate program, he blends rigorous research methodology with practical engineering to move prototypes into reproducible deployments. Less obvious: he repeatedly bridges low-level C++ systems work with high-level vision-language evaluations, making him effective at translating academic advances into production-ready tools.
