Jian Xie

I am Jian Xie (Pronounced as "Jyen Shyeh", 谢健), an incoming Ph.D. student at The Ohio State University, where I will work under the guidance of Prof. Yu Su. I have a broad interest in Natural Language Processing, with a current focus on Language Agents. My primary interests lie in exploring the memory mechanisms and reasoning/planning capabilities of language agents. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or want to collaborate!
