Siyuan Huang - Research Scientist, BIGAI

I am a Research Scientist at Beijing Institute for General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI). I teach at Peking University. I received my Ph.D. from Department of Statistics at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) advised by Professor Song-Chun Zhu. During my Ph.D., I have interned at DeepMind and Facebook Reality Lab. Before UCLA, I graduated from Tsinghua University with a Bachelors in Department of Automation.

My research interests lie in computer vision, machine learning, cognition, and robotics.
I currently focus on developing generalizable models for general-purpose agents, especially the language-grounded models for solving the perception, interaction, learning, and planning problem.

Perception: 3D Scene Parsing & Reconstruction & Synthsis; Human Activity Understanding
Interaction: 3D Human-Scene Interaction; Hand-object Interaction; Part-based Interaction
Learning: Neural-symbolic Learning, Structure Learning, Self-supervised Learning, Concept Learning
Planning: Language-grounded Task Learning and Planning, Generalized Planning in Real Scenes

I would like to develop tools to help machines learn 3D representations, percept 3D world, and interact with 3D environments from images or videos. My long-term goal is to build a general-purpose intelligent machine that could understand and interact with the 3D environment like humans.

Prospective students: I co-advise Ph.D. students with researchers at PKU, SJTU, ZJU, USTC, etc through TongProgram. I am looking for self-motivated, independent, creative, and ambitious Ph.D. students for conducting cutting-edge research. Send me CV and research statement if interested.
