💻 Selected Projects

  • PandaLM refers to ReProducible and Automated Language Model Assessment. PandaLM aims to provide reproducible and automated comparisons between different large language models (LLMs). By giving PandaLM the same context, it can compare the responses of different LLMs and provide a reason for the decision, along with a reference answer. I am the main contributor to this repo and now leading the PandaLM team.
  • USB is a Pytorch-based Python package for Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL). It is easy-to-use/extend, affordable, and comprehensive for developing and evaluating SSL algorithms. USB provides the implementation of 14 SSL algorithms based on Consistency Regularization, and 15 tasks for evaluation from CV, NLP, and Audio domain. I am the main contributor to this repo and now leading the USB team.
  • TorchSSL is an all-in-one toolkit based on PyTorch for semi-supervised learning (SSL). Currently, we implemented 9 popular SSL algorithms to enable fair comparison and boost the development of SSL algorithms. I am the main contributor to this repo and now leading the TorchSSL team.
  • Microsoft NeuralSpeech is a research project in Microsoft Research Asia focusing on neural network based speech processing, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), text to speech (TTS), etc. The code of Exploiting Adapters for Cross-lingual Low-resource Speech Recognition (TASLP 2022) has been moved to this repo.
