Academic Achievements
  • Papers: 'It’s Hard to Be Normal: The Impact of Noise on Structure-agnostic Estimation' (with Lester Mackey, Vasilis Syrgkanis); 'Discovering Hierarchical Latent Capabilities of Language Models via Causal Representation Learning' (with Vasilis Syrgkanis, Sham Kakade, Hanlin Zhang); 'Solving Inequality Proofs with Large Language Models' (with Jiayi Sheng, Luna Lyu, Tony Xia, Alex Gu, James Zou, Pan Lu). Among them, 'Structure-agnostic Optimality of Doubly Robust Learning for Treatment Effect Estimation' was accepted by COLT 2025, and 'Learning Causal Representations from General Environments: Identifiability and Intrinsic Ambiguity' was accepted as a spotlight presentation at NeurIPS 2024.
