Hi, I’m Minghui Liu!

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Furong Huang. I am also a member of UMIACS, working on advancing the capabilities and efficiency of large language models (LLMs). Prior to starting my Ph.D., I worked as a software engineer and earned my bachelor’s degree from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.

My research focuses on improving the reasoning abilities of language models and enhancing their efficiency, especially in the context of smaller LLMs that can run on personal devices. I am particularly interested in strategies such as model compression, curriculum learning, and fine-tuning techniques that make powerful language models more accessible. I believe that artificial intelligence should be democratized — usable by everyone regardless of access to large-scale computational resources.

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
