Anqi Joyce Yang

I am a Ph.D. student in the Machine Learning Group at the University of Toronto, advised by Prof. Raquel Urtasun. I am also a researcher at Waabi Innovation and a member of the Vector Institute. Previously I completed my M.Sc. in the same group, and my B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Waterloo, with a minor in Combinatorics and Optimization.

My general research interests involve computer vision, machine learning and robotics.
