I am interested in the science of deep learning. Recently, I’ve been very excited about topics like reasoning, multi-modal foundation models, and safe and scalable deep learning. During my time at Microsoft Research, I worked on developing a knowledge base generative model towards a knowledge-augmented LLM approach to improve interpretability and limit hallucination.
