Xunjian Yin
(Xunjian is pronounced as Shoon-Jen)

Hi! I am an incoming CS PhD student at Duke University, supervised by Prof. Shuyan Zhou. Currently, I am a Master student at Peking University, supervised by Prof. Xiaojun Wan.

Previously, I received my bachelor's degree from Peking University in 2022. I worked as an intern at Microsoft and Shanghai AI Lab. I also worked at UCSB NLP Group, advised by Prof. William Yang Wang.

Research: I aim to make models more generalizable across real-world tasks. I have focused on evaluating and analyzing the generalization capabilities of models, exploring their knowledge boundaries, and designing methods for knowledge editing, self-alignment, and self-referential agents to improve model versatility and performance.

I believe in using methods that are simple, generalizable, and graceful.

Feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to discuss research or explore potential collaboration!
