Hello! I am a research intern at the Explainable and Controllable AI Lab, working with Dr. Zining Zhu. Prior to joining the Explainable and Controllable AI Lab, I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science at Ramapo College of New Jersey.
My research broadly lies in Artificial Intelligence, Information Retrieval, and Natural Language Processing. I aim to develop Language Models(LMs) that can utilize vast swathes of information to assist humans in their day-to-day lives.
Towards this end, my current research interests include:
- Retrieval-augmented Generation
- Semiparametric and Nonparametric Retrieval-based LMs
- Long-Context Language Modeling
- Self-Correction in LMs
