Tanay Dixit
Hello!, I am an MSCS student at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, where I am working with Prof. Jiawei Han. My research mainly focuses on LLMs and improving evaluation techniques. I am honoured to be a Siebel Scholar (Class of 2025) I graduated from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2023 with a bachelor's degree in ECE. While at IIT Madras, I worked with Prof. Mitesh Khapra
I’m looking for Research Engineering/ Applied Scientists roles, please reach out if you think I would be a good fit.
Research & Experience
- LLM Evaluations & Applications: Built an interactive tool for performing LLM prompt migrations efficiently [1]. Increased the usability and interpretability of LLM-based NL2SQL pipelines by introducing intermediate representations [2]
- Interpretability & Trustworthiness: Developed a retrieval augmented counterfactual data generation techniques to improve model generalization [3] , and improved the factuality of summarization systems by training models using a ranking loss [4]
- NLP Evaluation: Showed NLG metrics contain several evaluation blind spots and proposed a better framework to meta-evaluate metrics [6]. Released a large meta-evaluation dataset and metrics for low-resource translation evaluation [5]
