I am currently a final-year CSE Ph.D. candidate at University of California, Santa Cruz, recipient of Jack Baskin and Peggy Downes-Baskin Fellowship 2023-2024, fortunately advised by Prof. Yang Liu!

I am now on the job market seeking for Research Scientist / Faculty positions in Trustworthy/Responsible Machine Learning or Language Models. Please feel free to reach out if you have any open positions!

My research interests lie in trustworthy machine learning & large language models, i.e., robust learning under real-world constraints (label errors in human-generated data, class-imbalanced learning, group distributional robustness), data alignment in large language models, incentive design for data collection, and generative modeling.

Previously, I received my Master of Science degree (Data Science) at Brown University and B. S. degree in Honors Math & Honors Youth (Gifted Young) from Xi’an Jiaotong University.

News

[2024. 02] We have released a preprint on Measuring and Reducing LLM Hallucination without Gold-Standard Answers via Expertise-Weighting. In this paper, we propose Factualness Evaluations via Weighting LLMs (FEWL), the first hallucination metric that is specifically designed for the scenario when gold-standard answers are absent.

[2024. 01] We have released a preprint on Human-Instruction-Free LLM Self-Alignment with Limited Samples. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can self-align LLMs iteratively without active human involvement.
