Hi! I am Jinu Lee, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at UIUC. I am currently advised by Julia Hockenmaier.
My research focuses on semantics of reasoning, aiming to understand and improve natural language reasoning via neural large language models and symbolic methods. Specific topics include:
- Semantic representations for reasoning (logic, math, code) & Neuro-symbolic reasoning
- Fine-grained evaluation of reasoning traces
- Improving reasoning capabilities of large language models
You can find my CV here.
