Jul 09, 2026 Our paper titled “Beyond Post-Hoc Temperature Scaling: Bilevel Optimization for LLM Calibration” has been accepted to COLM. Thanks for all the collaborators!
Jul 01, 2026 I officially joined NUS SoC as an Assistant Professor.
Jun 24, 2026 Our paper, Adversarial Rademacher Complexity of Deep Neural Networks, has been accepted for publication in JMLR. The paper has had a rather eventful journey. It was first submitted to ICLR 2022 and received scores of 8/8/8/6, but was not accepted. We subsequently submitted a revised version to JMLR, where the review process took longer than we had anticipated. We are very glad that the journey has now reached a positive conclusion. I am deeply grateful to everyone who supported and helped me along the way.
Apr 27, 2026 Our paper titled “Statistical Impossibility and Possibility of Aligning LLMs with Human Preferences: From Condorcet Paradox to Nash Equilibrium” has been accepted to AoS. Thanks for all the collaborators!
Aug 18, 2025 Our paper titled “On the Algorithmic Bias of Aligning Large Language Models with RLHF: Preference Collapse and Matching Regularization” has been accepted to JASA. Thanks for all the collaborators!
Jun 15, 2025 I will attend the ICSA 2025 Applied Statistics Symposium at UConn, where I will deliver a short course titled “Statistical Inference in Large Language Models” and present our recent research.
May 01, 2025 Our paper titled “Restoring Calibration for Aligned Large Language Models: A Calibration-Aware Fine-Tuning Approach” has been accepted to ICML 2025. Thanks for all the collaborators!
Mar 17, 2025 Our paper titled “Statistical Impossibility and Possibility of Aligning LLMs with Human Preferences: From Condorcet Paradox to Nash Equilibrium” is available on arXiv now.
