Background
Final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computational Mathematics, School of Mathematical Sciences, Peking University (2021–Present)
Broadly interested in theory, algorithm, and application of machine learning
Also interested in non-convex and convex optimization
Recently dedicated to using theory to design algorithms elegantly
Specific research topics include: Deep Learning Theory (expressivity, optimization, generalization, implicit bias); Transformers and Large Language Models (theory and algorithms, especially in pre-training); Non-convex and Convex Optimization (theory and algorithms)
