Jing Yu Koh

jingyuk@cs.cmu.edu

I am a 2nd year PhD student in the Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Daniel Fried and Ruslan Salakhutdinov. I work on grounded language understanding, usually in the context of vision-and-language problems.

Prior to this, I was a Research Engineer (and previously an AI Resident) at Google Research in Jason Baldridge's team from 2019-2022, where I worked on vision-and-language problems and generative models. Before that, I completed my undergraduate studies at the Singapore University of Technology and Design summa cum laude (highest honors) in 2019.

My first name is "Jing Yu" and informally I go by the nickname "JY". 许靖宇 is my name in Chinese. I'm from Singapore.
