About Me

Hi, I am Anthony Tong.

I am a second year undergraduate student double majoring in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and interested in reasoning in large language models and tokenization/representation methods.

I am currently working with Professor Gary Cottrell on a molecular identification project. I was previously advised by Professor Edwin Solares on multiple computer vision projects regarding species rescue and agricultural and language conservation, as well as Professors Shengjie (Patrick) Zhai and Ming Zhu on an analytical project on LLM tokenization and domain adaptation. I am also grateful to have previously worked with Professor Arya Mazumdar as part of the Regents Scholars Research Initiative (RSRI) on some topics exploring logistic regression and diffusion generative models.
