Optimizing Large Language Models: Algorithmic Advancements and Model Design Strategies
Published 2026Large Language models have achieved remarkable performance across diverse tasks, but face two critical deployment challenges: (1) the key-value (KV) cache memory bottleneck that limits model deployment in resource-constrained ...Open AccessThesis -
Fast Algorithms for Fréchet-Based Similarity
Published 2026Polygonal curves arise naturally when recording movement data from GPS traces, animal tracking, or eye-gaze measurements. A fundamental task is to compare such curves using a formal notion of similarity. The Fréchet distance ...Open AccessThesis -
Mesenchymal stem cell senescence: Mechanisms and rejuvenation strategies
Published 2025Cellular senescence is a key contributor to organismal ageing and reduces the regenerative capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), limiting their therapeutic potential in treating age-related diseases. This thesis aimed ...USyd AccessThesis -
Essays on Machine Learning in Economics
Published 2026This thesis presents three studies exploring how machine learning can be applied to understand and model complex phenomena in economics. Chapter 2 investigates how machine learning can be used to examine geographic diversity ...USyd AccessThesis -
Multimodal Emotion Elicitation and Recognition in Virtual Reality
Published 2026Virtual Reality (VR) has been effectively used for eliciting emotions, yet most research focuses on the intensity of affective responses rather than on how interaction influences those experiences. To address this gap, ...Open AccessThesis
