Contact / Twitter / Google Scholar
Hi, My name is Jinyang Li who is a junior PhD student a Department of Computer Science in Hong Kong University, advised by Prof.Prof. Reynold CK Cheng. My research is under support of HKU Presidential PhD Scholar Programme. Additionally, I also work with Prof. Kevin C.C.Chang and Dr.Chenhao Ma closely. I'm enthusiastic about Natural Language Processing (semantic parsing), Large Language Model, especially the interactive projects of them.
I had a great research experience in Conversational AI Team of Alibaba DAMO Academy advised by Dr. Fei Huang, Yongbin Li and Binyuan Hui who are very insightful and patient mentors. Also, I knew and cooperated with many young talent research students there: Bowen Qin, Yunshui Li, Jiaxi Yang, Liang Li, and Yingxiu Zhao. All these friends, advisors, and academic experiences make me grow up quickly in NLP! Thanks!
