I received my Ph.D. degree (21’) from the Department of Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). My research interests lie in the intersection of statistical machine learning, natural language processing and cognition. Current research themes include:
- Trustworthy AI: Crafting faithful, interpretable and trustworthy AI frameworks.
- Human-like Conversational Agents: Building interactive models that align with human values and social norms.
- Efficient Language Models: Efficient training and inference of long-context language models.
- Generative Modeling: Statistical generative modeling (e.g. EBMs, diffusions) on high-dimensional data.
I am always looking for self-motivated students and long-term collaborators. Please contact me if you have excellent background or share similar research interests with me.
