Research
My research is primarily in the field of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning, with an emphasis on improving the explainability of large language models and enhancing their reasoning capabilities. I also work on program synthesis.
Recently, I am interested in the these directions:
- Make LMs better at reasoning over general, open-ended tasks beyond verifiable domains
- Improve robustness and efficiency of RL training for LM reasoning
Build stronger coding agents leveraging symbolic tools
