Dr. Yanjie Fu is an Associate Professor in the School of Computing and AI at Arizona State University, part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He maintains his office in BYENG 506 at the Tempe campus and can be reached at yanjie.fu@asu.edu. Dr. Fu received his Ph.D. from Rutgers University in 2016, the B.E. degree from the University of Science and Technology of China, and the M.E. degree from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His industry research experience includes positions at Microsoft Research Asia and IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center. His research focuses on developing disruption-robust machine intelligence that can handle imperfect and complex data. Dr. Fu's work spans two major efforts: Data for AI (D4AI), exploring how structure knowledge of data can guide AI, and AI for Data (AI4D), investigating how AI can augment, reprogram, and knowledgeize data. His current research interests include space-time intelligence, data-centric AI, sim2decision, multimodal reasoning, and LLM with agentic AI. His lab has contributed projects including D4AI-spatial, D4AI-timeseries, D4AI-causal outliers, AI4D-RL, AI4D-Gen, and AI4D-LLM. Dr. Fu's recent publications reveal a strong trend toward integrating causal reasoning with deep learning for robust anomaly detection, advancing time series forecasting with novel normalization techniques, and applying generative AI to urban planning. His work increasingly bridges traditional machine learning with large language models, particularly focusing on data-centric approaches for tabular data transformation and feature engineering.

His research has been supported by significant grants including the NSF CAREER award, and he currently serves as Associate Editor of ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data. He is also a senior member of both ACM and IEEE. Dr. Fu leads a research group focused on developing trusted and safe machine intelligence. The lab connects computing issues across representation learning, self-supervised learning, interactive learning, adaptive learning, and stream learning to build disruption-robust frameworks. The group executes two key steps: data representation construct (integrating structure knowledge, self-optimization, explainability) and learning strategy construct (integrating robust representations with adaptive and interactive learning).
