home yining hong yining hong stanford university department of computer science github google scholar twitter music blogs yninghong at gmail dot com about me i am a postdoc at stanford working with my primary advisors prof yejin choi and prof leonidas guibas as well as prof jiajun wu and prof fei fei li i got my phd degree in computer science at ucla i was fortunate to be co advised by two of the best advisors in the world prof ying nian wu and prof kai wei chang i was also supervised by prof song chun zhu in my early phd years previously i was an undergraduate in the department of electrical engineering in shanghai jiao tong university advised by prof xinbing wang and prof weinan zhang i ve been awarded rising star for spatial intelligence 30 000 gift funding rising star in computational and data science and baidu scholarship i m generally super grateful for all of my past and current advisors i also work as a professional musician multi instrumentalist composer i tour with prxzm to sf la portland seattle and more in addition to my job as a weekend organist i occasionally tour within california with my band westerly i was cvpr 2026 social chair organizing the cvpr reception and musical performances when i m not doing research and not doing music my hobby is reading books especially those related to cognitive science and philosophy i m always enthusiastic about helping younger people i m now teaming up with local nonprofit organizations to give seminars and career advice to high school and undergraduate students in the bay area feel free to shoot me an email if you wanna talk about research or life research highlights i m dedicated to building general purpose embodied agents that could actively explore and interact with the 3d physical world i like to think of this in terms of neuroscientist anil seth s five perspectives of selfhood perspectival self building 3d foundation models and world models for perceiving and understanding the 3d physical world 3d llm 3d clr 3d cg etc bodily self embodied reasoning for robots acting through and reasoning about a physical body situated in 3d space 3d vla multiply etc volitional self closing the perception action loop knowing how perception changes as a function of action the sense of urges to act and of being the cause of what happens esi bench test time planning embodied web agents narrative self emerged from countless perception action loops life experience and long term memory of a continuous and distinctive agent accumulating a history of experience across episodes over perception action loops rather than starting fresh each time slowfast vgen 3dllm mem etc i cover more of this in my blog three levels of ttt social self parallel loops refracted through the minds of others shaped by our social surroundings we have some ongoing and future works on this stay tuned publications esi bench towards embodied spatial intelligence that closes the perception action loop yining hong jiageng liu
