About my research group

You and Your Research:

You and your work need to be competitive with graduate students in top universities in the US and Europe. This requires hard work.
You will need to read many research papers.
You will need to write many research papers.
You need to know how to program and like to program. You will program. Quite a lot.
I will help you to do good work. Usually I brainstorm ideas with my students, program alongside them, and help them to write papers.

My research field is applied:

I do research in artificial intelligence (AI) and applied machine learning (ML), with the main application areas being foundation models (e.g. LLMs) and natural language processing (NLP).
You need to be curious about at least two of: (1) human language; (2) getting insights from data; (3) AI/ML.
I am open to working on interesting AI/ML problems outside the above. But you will have to convince me they are interesting.
