Miquel Sirera Perelló

PhD student, Northeastern University

Data, Networks, and Algorithms Lab · Boston

I'm a PhD student at Northeastern, in the Data, Networks, and Algorithms Lab. I work on large language models: how to run them across several machines, including small ones, and how to change something they know without retraining the whole model.

Work

A few things I'm working on right now.

Resilience for distributed language models

This continues JARVIS, which splits a language model across several devices. We added a way for the remaining devices to cover for one that drops out. We tried it with Gemma-2B on 18 radios in the Colosseum testbed, and on seven Raspberry Pis.

Communication-aware pruning

Training a neural network so that, once it is split across machines, those machines have to send less to each other, without losing accuracy.

Editing what a language model knows

Looking for cheaper ways to correct one fact in a language model, without retraining it and without undoing everything else it already knows.

Background

I studied data science in Barcelona. I'm now doing a PhD in Boston.

2024 — Present

PhD, Computer Engineering

Northeastern University · Boston

Large language models, in the Data, Networks, and Algorithms Lab. I work on running them across several machines, and on changing what they know without retraining them.

2023

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Genesys Lab, Northeastern · Boston

My bachelor's thesis was on using deep learning to classify wireless signals. That's what got me into this.

2022

AI Engineer Intern

Abi Global Health · Remote

I helped monitor their machine learning systems and worked with the lab on new models.

2019 — 2023

BSc, Data Science & Engineering

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya · Barcelona

GPA 8.89/10. Honors in Discrete Math & Logic, Mathematical Optimization, Search & Analysis of Information, and Advanced Topics of Data Science.
