Landshut, Germany šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ

I am a rising senior at Minerva University šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø, focusing on AI & Statistics, and leaving footprints in 6 countries/regions šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡øšŸ‡°šŸ‡·šŸ‡¹šŸ‡¼šŸ‡®šŸ‡³šŸ‡¦šŸ‡·šŸ‡©šŸ‡Ŗ. Iā€™m at the beginning of my research journey, and Iā€™m excited to learn from the community and to explore these subfields in Natural Language Processing:

  • Knowledge Extraction from Multimodal Data
  • Continual Learning and Knowledge Editing in Language Models (LMs): understanding how LMs store and utilize knowledge; retrieval augmentation and updating parametric knowledge
  • Language as instruction: language agents, code generation, and multimodal instruction

I also love teaching and continual learning. I make some open-source contributions to software that interest me, including language learning (LUTE) and Obsidian plugins.
