I am Shuo Xie (解说), a third-year Ph.D. student at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago, advised by Professor Zhiyuan Li.
I am currently interested in optimization, LLMs and learning theory.
Previously, I received a B.S. degree in statistics from Peking University and a M.S. degree in statistics from University of Chicago and did research in natural language processing with Hongyuan Mei and Hao Tan.
