About

I'm an AI researcher with a PhD in Computing & Information Science from the University of Nebraska Omaha. My research centers on robust representation learning. I study how models encode semantic structure that remains stable under perturbations.

My work operationalizes these representations for robust watermarking and LLM provenance.

Selected Research

Invariant Representation Learning in LLMs for Model Attribution

Invariant Features in Language Models: Geometric Characterization and Model Attribution

Under review

We propose a local geometric framework for identifying invariant semantic subspaces in transformer-based language models. Using a contrastive generalized eigenvalue decomposition over semantic-preserving and semantic-changing perturbations, we localize layers where semantic meaning concentrates and validate these representations causally through hidden-state interventions. Invariant representations are further applied to zero-shot model attribution, achieving over 92% accuracy across base, fine-tuned, and distilled variants of 9 open-source LLMs spanning diverse architectures and parameter scales.

Invariant Feature Learning with Auto-Augmentation for Watermarking

TIACam: Text-Anchored Invariant Feature Learning with Auto-Augmentation for Camera-Robust Zero-Watermarking

IEEE/CVF Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (in press)

TIACam is a text-anchored invariant feature learning framework for camera-robust zero-watermarking that embeds messages in a distortion-invariant feature space. Using a learnable auto-augmentor and cross-modal adversarial training, it achieves state-of-the-art watermark recovery under synthetic and real camera captures.
