There can't be beauty and utility?

I am a Member of Technical Staff at Thinking Machines Lab. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Meta's Fundamental AI Research (FAIR), where I focused on multimodal language models and LLM-based agents capable of navigating user interfaces to accomplish user goals. I received my PhD in Electronic & Computer Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). I received the outstanding paper award from ACL2019, and the best paper award from the NeurIPS2019 ConvAI workshop. My work has been featured in MIT technology review and VentureBeat. I serve as program committee and reviewer for various machine learning and natural language processing conferences such as ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, and AAAI, and journals such as the Journal of Natural Language Engineering and Computer Speech and Languages, and I co-presented the NeurIPS 2020 tutorial on Deeper Conversational AI.
