Yale University NLP Lab Undergraduate Research Assistant
Company: Yale
Duration: May 2023 - August 2023
My time at the Yale NLP lab introduced me to the wonderful world of Natural Language Processing.
Here, I was able to collaborate with experienced researchers in the NLP field, allowing me to learn how to properly read, interpret and structure scientific research papers in Computer Science. This experience also bolstered my presentation skills, as I was able to summarize and present prominent papers on the frontier of NLP research to the lab each week.
My main task as a research assistant was to create a companion website for the lab's L2CEval Paper, which studied the performance of various Large Language Models on different lexical and semantic tasks. The website demo I created served as the predecessor to the current L2CEval website. This project taught me how to use Python's Streamlit library for web development and required me to analyze training and testing data from LLMs using HuggingFace.
