About Me 🤗

I’m a final-year master student at Southeast University and a member of the PALM Lab.

My research interest focuses on Retrieval-Augmented Generation(RAG), LLM-based Agents, and Natural Language Processing. I am also very interested in Efficient Methods of LLM, Multimodal LLM.

I am always open to potential collaborations or research opportunities. Feel free to contact me at yilong.lai@seu.edu.cn.
