Hi There 👋! My name is Yining Lu, a first-year CS PhD student at the University of Notre Dame, where I am working with Prof. Meng Jiang in DM2: Data Mining towards Decision Making lab. Previously, I worked at Johns Hopkins University Center for Language and Speech Processing advised by Prof. Daniel Khashabi.
My research interests are in natural language processing and reinforcement learning, with primary focus on the evaluation of LLM on reasoning tasks and optimization of dual-task systems where LLM as environment. To this end, I am currently working on research projects:
-
Explainable and Trustworthy QA: How to better evaluate and generate high-quality rationales for QA tasks?
-
Decomposition and Verification: What is the optimal decomposition and verification strategies in building a generalizable, logical, and interpretable fact-checking system?
If you are interested in collaborating on these or similar ideas, feel free to drop me an email: ylu33 [at] nd.edu
