@steveruizok @tldraw Half of my inspo folder is screenshots of @tldraw - go work on cool stuff with Steve!

I’m hiring a solutions engineer for @tldraw in London. Come build things with me and my beautiful customers. React +TypeScript, sync, signals, and state machines. DMs open!

@zoeykii @lucy3_li So excited to see this!

1/ 📧 Ever wondered if you can trust a machine translation before hitting send? We study how different kinds of quality feedback shape monolingual users’ trust, reliance, and decisions 🧠🗣️ Appearing at #EMNLP2025!

Life Update: I’m excited to announce I’ve joined @SFResearch! With that, I’ll be sharing some of my final papers with Adobe Research at #UIST2025: 🌅 Thematic Planes: Bridging Tacit User Intent and Latent Spaces for Image Generation w/ @nikhilsksharma, @donghoon_io, @daeun_choi_, Harsh Sharma, @MasterJeongK, @hengjinlp Link: arxiv.org/abs/2508.06065 🧑🏻‍💻 PosterMate: Audience-driven Collaborative Persona Agents for Poster Design w/ @donghoon_io, @garyhsieh, @GromitC Link: arxiv.org/abs/2507.18572 📝 Semantic Commit: Helping Users Update Intent Specifications for AI Memory at Scale w/ @priyanvaithi, @Kim_Munyeong, Frida-Cecilia Acosta-Parenteau, Amine Mhedhbi, @roboticwrestler, @IanArawjo Link: arxiv.org/abs/2504.09283 *Special thanks to Ian and Priyan for having me :) I had an amazing time with Adobe Research, where I met truly kind and brilliant mentors/collaborators. Come chat with some of them at these posters!

📣 @Adobe is at #CVPR2025! Come chat with me on our latest projects! 👋🏻 You can catch me at the booth, or our demo on Saturday from 5 PM - 7 PM at Exhibit Hall D on factual multimodal generations!

📣 Attending @RealAAAI? Come check out our paper on understanding parametric knowledge in text-to-video models, and how external knowledge can improve factuality! 📄 We focus on knowledge-intensive prompts containing entities, and implement a lightweight query distiller + knowledge retriever for an initial investigation. Watch out for an expanded version at a future conference! Location: Pennsylvania Convention Center, Exhibit Hall E, Level 2 @ Feb 27 - 12:30 PM ⭐️ Had a great time collaborating with @yunyao_li and Arjun Chandra from @Adobe, Yang Zhao from @AdobeResearch and @ConiaSimone from @SapienzaRoma. 🔗 Link to the paper is coming soon. Check out our demo video (bit.ly/factv-demo) and GitHub repo (bit.ly/factv-dataset) in the meantime!

☕️ A bittersweet paper announcement at @coling2025! I’m excited to announce a couple of more papers from @Apple and @Adobe. 🌎 KG-TRICK: Unifying Textual and Relational Information Completion of Knowledge for Multilingual Knowledge Graphs @ Main Track w/ Zelin Zhou, @ConiaSimone, Min Li, Shenglei Huang, Umar Farooq Minhas, @saloni_p, Henry Xiao, @yunyao_li 🌄 MuRAR: A Simple and Effective Multimodal Retrieval and Answer Refinement Framework for Multimodal Question Answering @ Demo Track w/ Zhengyuan Zhu, Hong Zhang, Sai Harsha, Loic Feujio, Akash Maharaj, @yunyao_li 🌟 Thank you to all the authors, but a special thank you to Simone! KG-TRICK is the last of a series of 4 papers with Simone on multilingual and cross-lingual semantics, where he (and @gangi_official + @rpradeep42) at Apple introduced and guided me on how to conduct NLP research! Excited to share more work in the coming months, where they’ve continued to inspire me.

@kylelostat draft me in 🫡

any kind folks from #nlproc would be willing to help with emergency reviews for ARR Oct 🥹? pls send me a msg 🙏

🎉 Our paper won an Outstanding Paper Award at #EMNLP2024! 🌟 “Towards Cross-Cultural Machine Translation with Retrieval-Augmented Generation from Multilingual Knowledge Graphs” was recognized for addressing “the challenge of translating culturally-relevant named entities.” 📣 A huge thank you to the brilliant people behind this project, including @ConiaSimone, Min Li, Umar Farooq Minhas, @saloni_p and @yunyao_li. 📄: aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-mai… 💻: github.com/apple/ml-kg-mt 👥 As a junior researcher, I’m extremely grateful and fortunate to have worked with and been mentored by incredible researchers like: @ConiaSimone (@SapienzaNLP), @gangi_official (@IllinoisCDS), @rpradeep42 (@UWaterloo), @saloni_p (@Apple), @yunyao_li (@Adobe) and more. Keep an eye out for more work from us in the coming months!

🏖️I’ll be in Miami till the 16th for #EMNLP2024 presenting ConvKGYarn 🧶 in the industry track session E on the 13th, 4-5:30 (Riverfront) with @daniel_js_lee! Happy to chat about eval in @TREC_RAG (& convince you to join next year!), rerankers or whatever else has you curious.

@emnlpmeeting @Apple @Adobe ⭐️ P.S. See some fantastic work by @gangi_official as well! Btw, he’s on the job market this year, and you should definitely grab him when you can. I’ve learned so much over the last couple years with him at @IllinoisCDS!

🏖️ Ready for @emnlpmeeting? Come check out our papers from @Apple and @Adobe! 🌎 We dive into: (1) transcreation vs. transliteration of culturally nuanced and language specific text, (2) scalable and configurable KGQA data generation and (3) LLM migration guided by regression testing. Chat with @ConiaSimone, @rpradeep42, @tanayd07 and me! 1. aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-mai… 2. aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-ind… 3. aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-dem… ☕️ I’m looking forward to meeting with old and new friends! DM me if you’d like to grab a coffee with me, and talk about our work. I’ll be in Miami from 11/11 - 11/16. See you soon!
