  In this paper, based on the notion of SYK/AdS duality we explore the effects
of Yang-Baxter (YB) deformations on the SYK spectrum at strong coupling. In the
first part of our analysis, we explore the consequences of YB deformations
through the Kaluza-Klein (KK) reduction on $ (AdS_2)_{\eta}\times (S^1)/Z_2 $.
It turns out that the YB effects (on the SYK spectrum) starts showing off at
\textit{quadratic} order in $ 1/J $ expansion. For the rest of the analysis, we
provide an interpretation for the YB deformations in terms of
bi-local/collective field excitations of the SYK model. Using large $ N $
techniques, we evaluate the effective action upto quadratic order in the
fluctuations and estimate $ 1/J^2 $ corrections to the correlation function at
strong coupling.
