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. Jonas Geiping and Dr. Weiyang Liu. 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 intelligent systems learn. My current research centers on scalable and efficient foundation models, with a focus on understanding and enhancing their architectures, optimizers, training and data efficiency, reasoning capabilities, and theory.
