About Me
I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Alberta, supervised by Prof. Lili Mou. I received both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Alberta.
My research interests lie in Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning. Specifically, I focus on:
- The interpretation of representations understandable by both machine learning models and humans
- Communication and interaction between different large language models
