Yixin Ma

I am an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science and Technology at Tiangong University. My research interests include Natural Language Processing and Large Language Models.

I am interested in building language models and intelligent systems that can better understand, reason, and interact with humans.

Projects

• Iceberg

  Iceberg is a project exploring empathetic dialogue generation with large language models. It focuses on modeling deeper emotional states and hidden user needs through an iceberg-style framework.

  In this project, I worked on user-agent simulation, dialogue-stage modeling, reward design, and training pipelines for more emotionally aware dialogue agents.

• CS336 Assignment

  This project is a from-scratch implementation of core components of a Transformer language model, following the Stanford CS336 assignment series.

  I implemented modules such as linear layers, embeddings, RMSNorm, SwiGLU, rotary position embeddings, multi-head self-attention, training utilities, optimizer logic, learning-rate scheduling, gradient clipping, and checkpointing.
