Mike Zhou

My name is Mike Zhou and I am currently a fourth year undergraduate studying computer science and mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. I am interested in deep learning, natural langauge processing, and arithmetic combinatorics. I am currently an undergraduate researcher at Penn’s Cognitive Computation Group, where I am working with Professor Dan Roth on various aspects of machine translation and language model reasoning. Before that, I worked on the learnability of n-gram models at Rycolab.

Within NLP, I am interested in language model reasoning. I am interested in where models parametrically store their knowledge, and why some prompts (like CoT and self consistency) elicit reasoning better than others. On my free time, I also like to think about problems related to arithmetic combinatorics and graph theory.
