I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Iowa State University, working with Dr. Qi Li on Information Extraction (NER, RE, etc.) and LLMs research. My research interests lie at the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Machine Learning. I specialize in context faithfulness, memory strength in LLMs, and data-driven model optimization.
Before joining Iowa State, I earned my M.S. in Computer Science from the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017 and my B.S. in Electronic Science and Technology from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2012. I have extensive research experience in LLM knowledge representation, distant supervision, and model optimization.Â
In addition to my academic work, I have industry experience as a Research/Applied Scientist Intern at Amazon, where I worked on LLM knowledge conflict resolution and data augmentation for NLU models.
