About



I am working on a startup.

In 2019, I obtained my PhD degree from the School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Ruslan Salakhutdinov and William W. Cohen. Prior to that, in 2015, I received my bachelor's degree from Tsinghua University, advised by Jie Tang. I worked at Meta AI with Jason Weston, and Google Brain with Quoc V. Le.

Reach out to me at A@B, where A=kimi.zhilin.yang and B=gmail.com.
