I am broadly interested in NLP. Previously I worked on Multimodal LLM, Web Agents, Multi-Agents, Multilingual NLP, and benchmarking. I am also open to exploring interesting new directions.
I have been fortunate to work with an amazing set of researchers in the past. I am very grateful to be advised by Professor Graham Neubig and to have the opportunity to work closely with many great people.
In addition to my time in research, I interned at Intuit as a software engineer in AI/ML team, and PreVeil as a software developer. For more details, please check my CV or hit me up on my email: yueqis@cs.cmu.edu :)
