Postdoctoral researcher @Microsoft. NLP/IR Ph.D. from @umasscs. he/him/his.
Landed in Vienna for #ACL2025! We are hiring FTEs/Postdocs/Interns at Office of Applied Research to push the frontier of continuous model improvement for productivity, through RL*, inference time scaling, self reflection, memory etc. Available to chat this week w/ @mengtingwan.
Great to see multiple efforts digging into real chat data! This new paper looks at how people actually collaborate with AI when writing (e.g., revising, co-creating). A nice complement to our WildFeedback work on learning from natural user feedback. arxiv.org/abs/2505.16023
🤔 We know what people are using LLMs for, but do we know how they collaborate with an LLM? 🔍 In a recent paper we answered this by analyzing multi-turn sessions in 21 million Microsoft Copilot for consumers and WildChat interaction logs: arxiv.org/abs/2505.16023
Are you a *senior* professor who has graduated more than 2 Ph.D. students? We’re studying how labs manage organizational memory—students' roles, mentoring, documentation, etc.—and would love you to participate in a one-hour interview ($50). Plz, sign up forms.gle/K35nEK5A2cndCP…
People often claim they know when ChatGPT wrote something, but are they as accurate as they think? Turns out that while general population is unreliable, those who frequently use ChatGPT for writing tasks can spot even "humanized" AI-generated text with near-perfect accuracy 🎯
📢 An excellent opportunity for PhD students in IR and NLP: The Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) at the UMass Amherst is initiating an exciting Research Internship program for Summer 2025. See the thread for more info. 👇 #SIGIR #NLProc
Excited to present our NeurIPS paper "Learning Representations for Hierarchies with Minimal Support" at the morning poster session on December 12! Stop by at poster #3500 in the East Building!
📢✨ I am recruiting 1-2 PhD students at Virginia Tech this cycle. If you are interested in efficient model development (including model merging, parameter-efficient fine-tuning & transfer learning), instruction tuning, advanced reasoning, LLMs-as-judges, etc., please apply!!
