Yirong Shen 沈毅荣

I am currently a PhD student at Imperial College London, where I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Cong Ling. I study information theory and learning theory, focusing on Shannon-theoretic foundations of machine learning and privacy. My research explores how information-theoretic principles can be used to better understand and improve large language models and modern generative models.

I received my Master’s degree from the University of Sydney, where I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Yonghui Li.

Before my PhD, I largely squandered my odyssey years on CS:GO — perhaps not the most wisely spent years. ;( Check out my FACEIT profile.
