Tsun-yi Yang is a founder and applied scientist with 11 years of experience building large-scale computer vision and multimodal AI systems, currently leading work on billion-scale operational CV tasks and previously driving retrieval and recommendation research at Meta. He holds a PhD from National Taiwan University and combines deep academic expertise in vision with practical production experience across startups and hyperscalers, including a notable open-source contribution to the CVPR paper FSA-Net for head pose estimation. As founder and CEO of MIMI AI he’s developing a video-to-video generative data platform that emphasizes physical realism and 20x faster generation for robotic training data, reflecting a rare blend of research, product and systems engineering. Comfortable managing cross-team labeling, benchmarking CNN/ViT/VLM models, and synthetic dataset pipelines, he’s equally adept at leading multi-modal LLM research and architecting large training data ecosystems.
