Hi, I am a final-year PhD candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Wai Lam. My research interests lie in natural language processing and large language models, with a current focus on pre-training data at Alibaba Qwen.
During my PhD studies, I have conducted research at Shanghai AI Lab, Tencent AI Lab, and Alibaba DAMO Academy.
Prior to my PhD, I worked as a research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Yue Zhang. I received my bachelor’s degree from Xi’an Jiaotong University.
