Shanxi University

Welcome!

I am a PhD student from the School of Computer and Information Technology at Shanxi University, co-supervised by Prof. Ru Li and Prof. Hu Zhang.

My research interests focus on natural language processing, explainable question answering, large language model (LLM) logical reasoning, and neuro-symbolic reasoning. I have published academic papers in international conferences and journals such as ACL, AAAI, EMNLP, COLING, Information Processing and Management, Information Sciences and Semantic Web. I have been granted one Chinese invention patent.

Additionally, I participated in several explainable question answering competition and received several awards, including the 3rd national prize in CAIL 2020, the 2nd national prize in CAIL 2021, the 2nd national prize in CMRC 2022, and the 1st place in the Baidu Reading Comprehension Interpretability Evaluation Leaderboard (both Chinese and English).
