Michael Y. Yu

I am a 4th-year undergraduate student at the McGill University’s Computer Science with a minor in Geographical Information Science. Currently, I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Renee Sieber, under Data Rescue: Archives & Weather (affiliations: NLP, RAG, Prompt Chaining, LLM Training, I/O Issues), working on identifying “Weather Vulnerabilities to Past and Present Disruptive Weather” - The Continuing Challenge of Using Newspapers as Digital Data.

I also have collaborations with Prof. Nikki G. Lobczowski’s CREATE Lab (engaing in a project “QG-math problem posing through Generative AI”); and Prof. Luke McCaffery ‘s Lab at the Rosalind & Morris Goodman Cancer Institute (engaging in computational modeling and simulation to investigate cellular dynamics and mechanisms in cancer research).

I am passionate about leveraging GenAI applications and computational techniques to solve pressing issues in various topics. Specifically, my research interests focus on information retrieval and natural language processing, especially, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), multi-agent, reasoning, etc. :)
