Bio

I’m a third year PhD student with Prof. Nigel Collier in Language Technology Lab, University of Cambridge. My research focus is in NLP and LLM, especially in LLM-as-judge (LLM evaluator), Controlled Text Generation, Generation with Discourse structure, Task-oriented Dialog, Data Synthesis for aligning LLM.
