Research Topics
• The Learning Mechanics of Foundation Models. How do foundation models work? What is the mechanism behind the learning process of foundation models? Can we derive some structural insights from it, and use those to make the model more powerful and more efficient?
• Unlocking the full performance and generalization potential of foundation models through architectural design, post-training and multi-agent systems
• Some other intriguing phenomena and problems
