Yao Tang 唐尧

Hi! I am an undergraduate from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). My research interests mainly lie in teaching agents how to reason and plan. I have been involved in several research projects on sequential decision making and reinforcement learning. Currently, I'm working as an undergraduate research intern in SJTU, advised by Dr. Tong Yu and Prof. Shuai Li.

Feel free to contact me if you are interested in my research!

Research Experiences

I am generally interested in teaching agents how to reason and plan. In my past one and a half years of research experience, I have explored multiple directions, including:

  • Self-Supervised Pre-training for Reinforcement Learning: how to pretrain a unified model on unlabeled data that can quickly adapt to various downstream tasks.
  • Conditional generative modeling of Decision Making: how to solve decision-making through generative models especially when complete state information is inaccessible.
