Hi there. I am 1st year MSCS student at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, honered to be advised by Prof. Heng Ji. My research interest mainly focus on Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models.

Research Interest

I have a wide interest in NLP. Currently, I am focusing on the following topics:

Knowledge in Language Models Given that LLMs can serve as knowledge bases, I want to explore how the knolwedges are stored in LLMs. My goal is to help LLMs understand and utilize the knowledge in a better way.
Language Models’ Explainability and Interpretability LLMs's behaviors are always unpredictable and unorganzied, I hope to help the community understanding LLMs from an intrinsic perspective.

Besides, I am also quite interested in Multi-Modal Learning.
