Tsz Kin Lam, Dr.

UPDATE: Since 16th April 2023, I have started to work at the University of Edinburgh on projects related to multi-modal LLM. Starting from 15th Jan, 2019, I am a Doctoral Student under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Stefan Riezler.

Research Interests

• Machine learning with human in the loop
• Multi-agent (Reinforcement) learning
• Bayesian technique
• Text/Speech-To-Text Translation
• Speech Recognition

News

• Get one paper accepted to ICASSP 2023 :-) !
• Get one paper accepted to WMT 2022!
• Get one paper accepted to the main conference of ACL 2022!
• Doing my internship at Amazon Berlin since Nov 2021!
