Research on improving applicability and performance of LLMs across various tasks, focusing on multimodality, reasoning, self-supervised learning, and data augmentation. Integrated text with structured data for enhancing question answering and graph-based tasks. Developed LLMs for spatiotemporal prediction. Advanced graph-based node classification developing hypergraph-aware architectures. Investigated novel training techniques, such as knowledge distillation, in-context subsetting, and manifold data augmentation.
• Published 7 papers (5 as first author and 2 as co-first) in top conferences such as ICLR, ICML, and EMNLP, as well as Nature journals.
