Investigating unverbalized evaluation awareness in LLMs through bilingual behavioral experiments and internal-representation analysis.
Developed low-dimensional latent-space attacks that generate perceptually constrained adversarial videos for downstream classifiers.
Built a volatility-conditioned diffusion model for probabilistic financial forecasting with stronger uncertainty calibration than classical baselines.
Built a deployed ML platform that predicts an osu! player's global skill percentile directly from recorded gameplay.
Built a market-data and optimization engine for identifying executable positive-expectancy CS2 trade-up contracts.
