About Me

Hi! This is Xiaotian Ye.
More about my name...
Xiaotian is pronounced roughly like "shyao-tyen", and my name is written as 叶笑天 in Chinese.

I’m an incoming M.Phil. student in Computer Science at the University of Cambridge, and a member of Hughes Hall. Prior to this, I spent several years as a research intern at CASIA, where I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Shu Wu and work with Dr. Mengqi Zhang.

My work focuses on understanding and generalizably controlling large language models (LLMs), particularly how a (relatively) small number of samples can enable truly generalizable knowledge updating, capability evolution, value alignment, and behavioral control. I am likewise interested in closely related topics such as interpretability, evaluation, and safety issues, with the ultimate goal of making LLMs more robust and trustworthy for real-world deployment, thereby empowering diverse domains and benefiting society at large.
