Qinan Yu 喻启楠
Hi! I am qinan, a first-year CS Ph.D. student at Stanford. Currently, I am rotating with Chris Potts and Carlos Guestrin. My Ph.D. is generously supported by Stanford Graduate Fellowship.
My research focuses on Natural Language Processing, specifically in interpretability and trustworthiness of language models. I'm interested in understanding how language models work internally and improving their capabilities and reliability.
Before Stanford, I received a concurrent B.S. in Math-CS and M.A. in CS from Brown where I was fortunate to be advised by Ellie Pavlick.
