Biography

Hi, I’m Keyu, a master student in Machine Learning at University of Tuebingen. Currently, I am a research assistant in Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, advised by Dr. Shiwei Liu, and also have the privilege of working with Dr. Weiyang Liu and Dr. Jonas Geiping. I earned my B.Eng. in Artificial Intelligence from Southeast University where I was advised by Prof. Guilin Qi, and had a wonderful time at SEU-131AIClub, contributing to its founding and flourishing.

I am passionate about the intuitions from empirical observations and about uncovering the principles behind them, especially how intelligence learns – on what data, at what scale, stepping by what rule, and how early choices set the ceiling on foundamental capabilities like generalization and lifelong learning. My current research centers on scalable and efficient foundation models, with a focus on understanding their architectures, optimizers, training dynamics, science of scaling, data valuation, reasoning capabilities, and theory.
