Portrait of Sidi Lu

Research

My long-term research interest lies in measure-theoretic questions about language, especially how measures over language shape model intelligence, generalization, and training efficiency in reinforcement learning. My work on non-autoregressive modeling and post-training follows this same line of inquiry.

Outside research

Poetry

My work is mainly identified as modern misty poetry that questions the very essence of life and death.

Read poems

Music

As an amateur singer, I am generally interested in R&B, thrash metal and pop rock, especially those from the 1990s.

Worldview

I generally identify myself as an agnostic antheist, with a strong interest in the history of religions and cultures, especially those related to Christianity.
