About me
My name is Renze Lou ( 楼仁泽 ), a first-year PhD student at Penn State University. I am glad to be supervised by Prof. Wenpeng Yin. Before PSU, I was an undergraduate at Zhejiang University City College, advised by Prof. Lin Sun.
My current research interest focuses on Large Language Models, Instruction Tuning and Agent 🤖. I am now actively seeking for Research Internship in 2024. Appreciate any opportunities or referrals!
Updates:
- Oct. 2023: We released ✨
✨ MUFFIN, a novel LLM-synthetic dataset for instruction tuning. Check it out on our project website 👈.
- Mar. 2023: 🔥🔥🔥 We released a comprehensive survey on Instruction Learning. Check it out on arXiv. The corresponding paper list (more than 160 papers) is also available on github.
- Feb. 2023: One paper accepted by ICASSP 2023. It was my first time supervising undergraduates through the whole project!
- Jan. 2023: Our group moved to Penn State University.
- Oct. 2022: One paper accepted by EMNLP 2022.
- Jun. 2022: Recieved Bachelor’s degree. Goodbye, ZUCC.
