Projects

LaySciSearch

LaySciSearch fine-tunes embedding models so plain-language queries can retrieve scientific jargon, titles, and abstracts. End-to-end pipeline: LLM-generated training data, two-stage contrastive fine-tuning (SciBERT + Qwen), and retrieval evaluation on SciRepEval.

LLM LoRA Chapterization

Podcast chapterization with LoRA-fine-tuned Qwen3-4B-Instruct: transcripts → hierarchical table of contents. End-to-end pipeline with Whisper ASR, ToC-LLM distillation, two-stage duration-specific fine-tuning, and WindowDiff/ROUGE-L/SBERT evaluation on YTSEG.

Diffusion Weather Downscaling

We adapt a CompVis latent diffusion model for 4× ERA5 weather downscaling, fine-tuning VQVAE + LoRA UNet on multichannel WeatherBench zarr data. A custom power spectral density (PSD) loss and alternative latent initialization improve fine-scale reconstruction over standard MSE training.
