Research Interests

My research is organized around two complementary directions in natural language processing, large language models, multimodal data mining, and AI for science.

01Language Intelligence & Large Language Models

语言智能与大模型

Knowledge enhancement and editing, reasoning and safety, efficient and domain-specific models, language understanding, retrieval, recommendation, and intelligent education.

02Multimodal Data Mining & AI for Science

多模态数据挖掘与科学智能

Multimodal representation, understanding and robust fusion, with scientific applications in spatial omics, chemistry, and biomedical data. In this field, I established the CBIO research group.
