I'm a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer and Information Science at the University of California, Davis. The pronunciation of my name is “Ray Tsai” (you can also call me Yanson, 言燊).

My research centers on robust and adaptive learning for large language and multimodal models. I study how these models behave under distribution shifts, cross-modal conflicts, and ambiguous supervision, and develop learning and evaluation methods that enable models to adapt reliably to diverse tasks and environments.

I am an enthusiastic fan of Synthetic Ascension¹.
