Ben Shi

Hi, my name is Ben! I’m originally from Changsha, China, and moved to West Virginia in the 5th grade. I am fortunate to be advised by Professor Karthik Narasimhan, as well as Shunyu Yao. Previously I was a SWE Intern at Meta.

Currently I’m interested in demystifying and improving reasoning capabilities of AI, through mediums such as logic puzzles and coding domains. I’m also broadly interested in understanding knowledge storage in LLMs, and its interaction with contextual knowledge in multi-task settings.

In my free time I love making and critiquing music. So much so that I built a generative AI pop music composition tool, deployment in progress. Also check out my Spotify where I post some interesting creations!
