Biography

I am a fifth-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University. I am advised by Prof. Jie Tang at the Knowledge Engineering Group, .

My research interest lies in various aspects of pretrained language models, especially how to improve their general intelligence[ACL'21,ACL'21,NeurIPS'24,ICLR'25]. Generally, I am also interested in the application of machine learning algorithms to real-world systems, including information retrieval [ECML/PKDD'18,TKDE,SIGIR'19], recommender systems[KDD'19] and knowledge graphs [TKDE].

In my spare time, I like to read science fiction novels and history books.
