I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at the University of Maryland. My research focuses on problems in natural language processing and machine learning. I am advised by Jordan Boyd-Graber and work in CLIP lab. I have also worked with Benjamin Van Durme from Johns Hopkins and Hsuan-Tien Lin from NTU.
I am interested in transfer learning for NLP. How can we adapt models for new domains, languages, and tasks? How do we design algorithms and interfaces to incorporate human feedback?
Outside of computer science research, I am an avid mountain climber. I grew up climbing mountains with my mom and will continue to pursue this passion.
Fun fact: I have an Erdös number of 3.
