Summary
Siyuan Xiang is an applied scientist with ~12 years of expertise spanning photogrammetry, computer vision, and multimodal AI, currently building AI-powered video recommendation for Amazon Ads in Bellevue. He has driven research-to-product work across Amazon (including AGI efforts for bias-reduced multimodal foundation models), Alexa AI, Walgreens AI Lab, and Samsung AI Center, and holds a Ph.D. from NYU’s AI lab with prior MS in Computer Graphics and a background in photogrammetry. Siyuan blends academic rigor—publishing on multisensory robotic perception—with production ML experience shipping recommendation and multimodal systems at scale. He brings a cross-disciplinary toolkit that includes 3D vision, sensor fusion, and agentic/coding workflows for LLMs, and is comfortable moving innovations from datasets and papers into deployed services. An uncommon strength is his combination of remote-sensing photogrammetry foundations and modern multimodal AI, enabling robust solutions where spatial reasoning and perception meet large-scale product constraints.
