Man Luo, Ph.D. is a Research Fellow at Mayo Clinic, Arizona.  She received her Ph.D. at ASU in 2023. Her research interests lie in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) with a specific focus on open-domain information retrieval under multi-modality settings and Retrieval-Augmented Generation Models.  She has published first author at top conferences such as AAAI, ACL and EMNLP. She serves as the guest editor of PLOS Digital Medicine Journal. She has served as reviewer for AAAI, IROS, EMNLP, NAACL, ACL conferences.  Dr. Luo is an organizer of the ODRUM workshops at CVPR 2022 and CVPR 2023 and Multimodal4Health at ICHI 2024.  Tejas Gokhale, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.  He received his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in 2023, M.S. from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017, and B.E.(Honours) from Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani in 2015.  Dr. Gokhale is a computer vision researcher working on robust visual understanding with a focus on connection between vision and language, semantic data engineering, and active inference.  His research draws inspiration from the principles of perception, communication, learning, and reasoning.  He is an organizer of the ODRUM workshops at CVPR 2022 and CVPR 2023, SERUM tutorial at WACV 2023, and RGMV tutorial at WACV 2024.  Neeraj Varshney is a Ph.D. candidate at ASU and works in natural language processing, primarily focusing on improving the efficiency and reliability of NLP models. He has published multiple papers in top-tier NLP and AI conferences including ACL, EMNLP, EACL, NAACL, and AAAI and is a recipient of the SCAI Doctoral Fellowship, GPSA Outstanding Research Award, and Jumpstart Research Grant.  He has served as a reviewer for several conferences including ACL, EMNLP, EACL, and IJCAI and has also been selected as an outstanding reviewer by EACL”23 conference. Yezhou Yang, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor with the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI), Arizona State University.  He received his Ph.D. from University of Maryland.  His primary interests lie in Cognitive Robotics, Computer Vision, and Robot Vision, especially exploring visual primitives in human action understanding from visual input, grounding them by natural language as well as high-level reasoning over the primitives for intelligent robots.  Chitta Baral, Ph.D., is a Professor with the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI), Arizona State University and received his Ph.D. from University of Maryland. His primary interests lie in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision (CV), the intersection of NLP and CV, and Knowledge Representation and Reasoning.Chitta Baral is a Professor with the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI), Arizona State University, and received his Ph D from University of Maryland.
