About Me
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Alberta, supervised by Prof. Lili Mou. My research lies at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, with a focus on:
- Interpretable representations that bridge machine learning models and human understanding
- Embedding learning for efficient context in large language models
- Multi-agent communication and interaction among large language models
