Yuexiang Feel free to call me Simon. Zhai

Bio

I am a final year phd candidate and a research scientist at Google DeepMind at Berkeley EECS, advised by Prof. Yi Ma and Prof. Sergey Levine. I am also affliated Because of my advisors, I have nothing to do with it (except for having a seat at the beautiful Berkeley Way West office). with BAIR. I obtained an MS degree from Columbia University with Prof. John Wright and a BS degree in Math & Applied Math It is only one major, I do not know why Zhejiang University (ZJU) created a major named "Math & Applied Math". Perhaps ZJU is trying to suggest that some math majors are not applicable? from Zhejiang University Not from the Chu Kochen Honors College, because I did pretty poorly during undergrad..

Research

• Past experience: My past research spans different topics in machine learning, reinforcement learning, and large models.
• Interest: I am interested in anything that I don't understand yet Such as (1) how does the universe work; (2) what are my cats thinking about. .
• Current focus: I am currently focus on things A.k.a. large multimodal models (Purely personal opinions, feel free to debate me). that will work in the near future It means \leq 5 years. , such as:
• cleaning data for foundation models
• evaluating the performance of foundation models
• training / applying multimodal models as decision-making agents
• understanding the limitations of multimodal models
