About Me
I am a final year Ph.D. student advised by Prof. Zhicheng Dou at the Gaoling School of Artificial Intelligence, Renmin University of China. My research mainly focuses on Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing. Currently, I’m working on applying language models on IR problems including search results personalization, generative document retrieval, and retrieval-augmented generation.
