Yunxiang (δΊ‘ηΏ”) is a final-year MSCSE student at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Kartik Goyal on natural language processsing.

He has also been fortunate to work with Prof. Meng Jiang on graph sampling and anomaly detection as an REU at the University of Notre Dame DM2 Lab.

His current research focuses on scalable, contamination-robust evaluation of language models and interpretability & control of chain-of-thought reasoning.

His future research interest includes:

  • Evaluate and understand language models in open-ended, long-form domains
  • Build (semi-) autonomous agents for creative tasks such as narrative generation
