đ About Me
My research interests lie in agents based on large models (LLMs/MLMs). Specifically, I am interested in:
- The integration of LMs with APIs (tools).
- Retrieval augmented generation.
- Multi-Agent Scaling.
Recently, I aim to explore the integration of LLM inference scaling with Tools.
My research group primarily focuses on system software, including machine learning systems, web systems, software engineering, and etc. However, during my second year of PhD studies, I discovered a greater interest in AI, so my current focus is primarily on AI :-).
