Hello! I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Cornell University advised by Prof. Alexander Rush. My research interests lie in the broad field of machine learning and natural language processing, particularly in building an efficient language understanding system.
Current research directions
Efficiency: compressing and accelerating large language models along multiple axes, including model size, training/inference time, computations, etc.
Interpretability: understanding language models in terms of data and model components.

A little bit about myself
My first name "우정" means "friendship" in Korean.
I love cooking, baking, playing tennis, and collecting vinyl records!
