Research

Lab research, personal research questions, and new topics I am learning.

Latent Structure Lab

Fixing distortion in low-dimensional visualization

My main research continues the published work on detecting distortion in nonlinear data embeddings. Our current goal is to reduce that distortion with algorithms, so low-dimensional visualizations better preserve the high-dimensional structure they represent.

Personal Research Questions I’m Interested In

  1. 01

    Multi-source hallucination

    How can we reduce hallucination when a model must reconcile multiple input sources?

  2. 02

    Long-task memory

    How should long-short memory systems be designed when tasks are long but context windows are limited?

  3. 03

    Embedding reliability

    How can we quantify embedding reliability across random seeds and data shifts?

Things I’m Learning

LLM recommendation and voting

I have researched recommendation systems with large language models, including LLM + vLLM majority voting to improve answer accuracy.
