Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndy Liu is a third-year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon's Language Technologies Institute focusing on natural language processing and machine learning, with eight years of industry and research experience. He blends rigorous academic work—co-authoring an ICLR paper and building simulated language learners that leverage theory of mind—with hands-on product impact from internships at Meta and Facebook, where his models and backend features drove measurable engagement gains. His work spans research and production: from referential-game experiments to deploying neural predictors and data pipelines that scaled to millions of views in A/B tests. A Harvey Mudd alum in Math & CS, Andy pairs strong theoretical grounding with practical engineering, and his profile hints at a continued interest in bridging cognitive-inspired models and real-world systems.
