Zongyu (Johnson) Lin「林宗裕」
I am a CS Ph.D Student at UCLA, co-advised by Prof. Yizhou Sun and Prof. Kaiwei Chang. Before coming to UCLA, I have spent almost a year in Moonshot.AI (one of the earliest core members) , working as a full-time LLM researcher. I was one of the major contributor of training large language models with extremely long context , achieving the state-of-the-art performance on many long context tasks compared with GPT4 and Claude2, and also participated in visual generation project. I completed my bachelor's degre
My research interest lies broadly in natural language processing and general machine learning. I have done some work including self-training, instruction finetuning and zero-shot task generalization of LLMs. Most Recently, I am interested in (1) studying the self-evolution paradigm of large language models as well as (2) exploring scalable architectures and recipes for multi-modal generation. Feel free to contact me for casual chat or discussion if you are also interested in these topics.
