Short Bio
I am a postdoctoral researcher at Saarland University, as a part of Saarland Informatics Campus (SIC), advised by Prof. Alexander Koller. I work on NLP and ML, and I am now interested in the interpretability, especially the attribution of language models, with a focus on reasoning tasks. I believe this is a key to building safe and reliable AI systems.
I recently finished my PhD at Utrecht University, advised by Dr. Dong Nguyen and Prof. Albert Gatt. Before that, I received my master’s (Computer Science, advised by Dr. Yuanbin Wu) and bachelor’s (Psychology) degrees both from East China Normal University.
