<p style="font-size: 18px">
  My  <a href="papers/">research group</a> aims to build and improve
  language models. Methodologically, we study
  data-driven methods that combine deep-learning
  based models with probabilistic controls.
  We are interested in applications in improved scaling,
  efficiency, model reasoning, and long-context generation.
</p>

<p style="font-size: 18px">
  I am also interested in <a href="projects/">open-source</a> deep learning LLMs, and
  develop projects to make systems safer, more clear, and easier to
  use.
  I work part-time at <a href="http://huggingface.co">Hugging Face</a> and like to release various software
  projects to support NLP and DL research.
  I host a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@srush_nlp">YouTube</a> channel with technical talks about topics I am interested in.
