Hi, I'm Zheyu!

I am a master student in Computational Linguistics at CIS, LMU Munich. Prior to that, I obtained my bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from IFI, LMU Munich. I'm also an incoming PhD student at Technical University of Munich, advised by Gjergji Kasneci.

I am broadly interested in natural language generation and model robustness and generalization.
