Research Motivation
I'm fascinated by the potential of AI to transform our world, and I'm on a journey to contribute to this exciting field. My research interests span a wide range of cutting-edge areas, each with its own set of challenges and opportunities.
One area that particularly intrigues me is parameter-efficient fine-tuning. I'm eager to explore ways to make AI models more adaptable and resource-efficient, like teaching a computer new tricks without needing a supercomputer. It's a bit like trying to pack for a world tour in a carry-on bag β challenging, but potentially game-changing!
Adversarial defense is another field I'm keenly exploring. As AI systems become more prevalent, ensuring they can stand up to potential attacks is crucial. I see this as a kind of digital martial arts training for AI β teaching it to defend itself in the complex world of data.
One of my biggest aspirations is to work on making AI more inclusive, especially for low-resource languages and domains. I dream of a world where AI can speak every language and understand every culture, bridging digital divides and opening up new possibilities for underserved communities. I'm also deeply curious about the concept of machine unlearning. While I haven't delved into this yet, the idea of helping AI systems "forget" specific information securely and efficiently is both fascinating and crucial for privacy and adaptability.
In essence, my research interests are about making AI not just powerful, but also efficient, fair, and globally relevant. It's a tall order, and I'm humbled by the complexity of these challenges. But I am excited to see where this leads me !!
