Weiliang Zhao

I'm currently an MSc Computer Science student at Columbia University, specializing in Machine Learning, with graduation expected in May 2025. I am advised by Professor Junfeng Yang and Dr. Chengzhi Mao at Columbia University. I hold a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Edinburgh where I was advised by Prof. Buark Buke.

My research interests include Trustworthy AI, AI robustness, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, and LLM jailbreak analysis.

A Generalised jailbreaking technique by encouraging higher levels of diversification and adjacent obfuscated prompting to evaluate the vulnerabilities of LLMs.

Learning to Rewrite: Generalized LLM-Generated Text Detection

We propose a method designed to enhance the detection of LLM-generated text by learning to rewrite more on LLM-generated inputs and less on human generated inputs.
