  • Predictive simulation of light interactions with organic and inorganic materials

Although the main target of his work is the realistic modelling of material appearance for image synthesis, his research has also been directed toward investigating related problems in remote sensing and biomedical optics. 

In remote sensing, they are used to monitor the effects of adverse environmental conditions on crops and forests.

In biomedical optics, they are used to develop procedures and equipment for the prevention, screening and treatment of different medical conditions.

  • Bachelor of Engineering, Department of Automation, Tsinghua University (2014)

Research interests

Yuntian Deng’s research interests center on the intersection of natural language processing, machine learning, and multi-agent systems. Specifically, he is interested in exploring how large language models (LLMs) can communicate and collaborate to solve complex tasks together, and how they can be trained to specialize in different domains for a division of labor. His key focus areas include:

  • Inducing Latent Language for Inter-LLM Communication: Developing methods to induce a specialized language for LLM communication, thereby enabling LLMs to leverage each other’s expertise.
  • Communication for Models Across Modalities: Extending Inter-LLM communication methods to enable collaboration among models that specialize in different modalities, such as language, image, and sensory data.
  • Collaborative Training for Division of Labor among Models: Exploring ways to foster a division of labor among models, using communication as a tool to distribute knowledge among them during the training process.

Srinivasan Keshav is the Robert Sansom Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Fitzwilliam College. Previously, he was a Professor at the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science.

Although he started out as a researcher in computer networking in 1988, since 2010 his focus has been on reducing the carbon footprint of energy generation, transportation, and buildings. For the past couple of years, he also worked on improving the performance of the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain so that it can be used as the foundation for highly-scalable energy systems, such as for transactive energy and renewable energy certificates. 

He has recently turned his attention to the carbon sequestration and biodiversity potential of forests, looking at both conservation and restoration.
