YangSky and written by Tao Yang, who happens to be the founder, chief research scientist, and apparently only employee of YangSky. In other words, this is a self-published book. It's not a "top seller" at all: its Amazon sales rank is #1,423,430. There is no evidence that it has "gained some attention", other than by blatant self-promotion and piggy-backing on the "CNN" acronym. There is no evidence that Yang's
Scientific Research Institute has any assets in addition to their web site and PO box, and any employees besides Mr. Yang himself. --

Okay, this is making more sense now. It looks like this is a bit more legit than what you see but not as big a deal as what the firm claims. The place has several products, mostly webcam-based applications such as optical scanners for barcodes. They conduct some basic research into other fields.

Regarding vanity and lack of notability: Even if the topic of "computational verb theory" is found to be verifiable, I'll also claim that it is not sufficiently notable to warrant several articles. The present state of affairs inflates the significance of Mr. Yang's theories beyond their apparent
