I obtained my ph.D degree from School of Software Engineering, South China University of Technology in 2024, under the expert guidance of Prof. Yi Cai. During 2024-06 ~ 2024-12, I do the postdoctoral studies at Nanyang Technological University, advised by Prof.Ying Wei. Now! I am a postdoctor at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), supervised by Prof. Qin Jing, focusing on multimodal learning and knowledge graph in Nursing Area. Currently, I have published more than 20 academic papers .

My Research Interests:

  • Knowledge Graphs(KG)
  • Multimodal Learning
  • Sentiment Analysis
  • Few-Shot Learning
  • Large Language Model(LLM)

I am generally interested in Natural Language Learning (NLP), Knowledge Graph (KG), Multimodal Learning, Sentiment Analysis and Large Language Model Enhanced with KG. I’m a passionate researcher specializing in artificial intelligence research, driven by a love for innovation and problem-solving. And I believe AI is not just about creating machines that think; it’s about empowering humanity with the wisdom to shape a smarter future.

💬 Published Research Resources


  • 2024 Multimodal Procedural Entity Recognition Dataset Published in In Proceedings of the 30th international conference on computational linguistics(COLING2023) Description: Existing procedural knowledge extraction methods mainly focus on text-modality data, which are difficult to track entities’ state changes between steps and often leading to ambiguity in representation. The published dataset aims to evaluate the performance of models in automatically recognize and grounding procedural entity in multimodal procedural documents.
  • 2023 Procedural Knowledge Graph Construction Dataset (WHPG) Published in Association for Computational Linguistics(ACL2023) Description: Current popular Knowledge Graphs (e.g., Wikidata) mainly focus on descriptive knowledge but neglect Procedural Knowledge. The published dataset aims to evaluate the performance of models in automatically constructing procedural knowledge graph from unstructured text. [URL]
  • 2021 Standard Knowledge Graph Published in Web and Big Data: 5th International Joint Conference (APWeb-WAIM2021) Description: Standard Knowledge Graph is constructed from more than 1,000 standard documents and ultimately have more than 10,000 triples. [URL]
