Tai Nguyen

May 2021: Hours before abseiling down Sơn Đoòng.
I’m Tai (Nguyễn Đặng Đức Tài), a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. I grew up in Saigon, Vietnam. 🇻🇳
I am excited about topics related to robustness, interpretability, and efficiency in large language models. I was fortunate to work with Eric Wong and Chris Callison-Burch.
Previously, I spent 2 memorable years as a data scientist at IBM Systems.
I helped build an analysis tool to support daily diagnosis and development of System-z mainframe servers.
Before NLP, I studied Economics and Statistics at Haverford College. I wrote my undergraduate thesis on the impact of home sharing for welfare, working with professor Giri Parameswaran.

I am looking to apply to PhD programs in the US for Fall 2024!
