Shikhar Srivastava
I'm a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Rochester, advised by Christopher Kanan.
I work to enable large models to learn continually. My current interests are in understanding memory, learning dynamics of large language models, and enabling continual consolidation in (multimodal) large language models.
I also work with Catherine Arnett at EleutherAI, Dhireesha Kudithipudi at UTSA.
Personal
I'm fascinated by memory. By the phenomena arising from our brains developing collectively through the phylogenetic tree. By old stories and old ideas.
I believe strongly in working towards the benefit of all.
