SHORT BIO
Yuchen Lin is a Young Investigator at Allen Institute for AI (AI2), hosted by Prof. Yejin Choi (University of Washington). He received his PhD from University of Southern California in 2022, advised by Prof. Xiang Ren. Yuchen's primary interest lies in developing artificial intelligence agents capable of demonstrating a profound understanding of the world through common-sense knowledge and reasoning abilities. His research aims to teach machines how to think, talk, and act like humans. Moreover, Yuchen's work focuses on enhancing the robustness, safety, and generalization of large language models (LLMs) through retrieval augmentation, continual learning, federated learning, and ensemble learning techniques.
