About me
My name is Zheyuan (Brian) Zhang (张喆元 in chinese). I am a master student at the University of Michigan pursuing Robotics MS in the Robotics Institute and Cognitive Science Graduate Certificate in the Weinberg Institute for Cognitive Science. Currently, I am a research assistant at the Situated Language and Embodied Dialogue (SLED) lab, advised by Professor Joyce Chai. I am also fortunate to work with Professor Honglak Lee and Professor Chuang Gan. Prior to UMich, I received my undergraduate degree in Computer Science (B.S.) from UMass Amherst, College of Information & Computer Sciences.
Research
My research is centered at the intersection of artificial intelligence and cognitive science. Currently, I am particularly interested in Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Robotics, Cognitive Science:
Deep Learning: biologically-inspired neural architectures and learning algorithms for online, continual and few-shot learning, compositionality, interpretability, explainable AI
Natural Language Processing: human-like reasoning and planning, language grounding to vision and robotics, language acquisition, language emergence
Robotics: embodied intelligence, robot learning
Cognitive Science: cognitive psychology, neuroscience
