My name is Yang Yang. I am currently a first year PhD student at the Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics at the University of Galway, supervised by Prof. Edward Curry. Previously, I received my Master’s degree from the Computer Science department, at Nankai University, supervised by Prof. Wei Shen.

My research interests lie in Open Knowledge Base and Neuro-Symbolic AI. You can find my CV here: Yang Yang’s Curriculum Vitae. If you are interested in my work, please feel free to drop me an email.
