I am a PhD student in Data Science at the City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Professor Xiangyu Zhao, and a joint PhD student in Human Resource Management at Renmin University of China, supervised by Professor Wenxia Zhou. My current work sits at the intersection of natural language processing, large language models, text-based assessment, and user-facing intelligent applications. More specifically, I am interested in how NLP and AI-supported methods can be used to build interpretable assessment, feedback, and support tools for real-world applications.
Research Summary
My recent research focuses on natural language processing, large language models, text mining, AI-supported assessment, and intelligent support systems. I am particularly interested in text-based assessment, structured feedback, competency extraction, and recommendation-oriented applications that integrate NLP, psychometrics, and domain knowledge.
Research Interests
- Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLMs), and user-facing intelligent applications.
- Text mining and information extraction from recruitment texts, open-ended responses, and other real-world text corpora.
- AI-supported assessment, structured feedback, and multi-source evaluation.
- Job recommendation, competency extraction, and intelligent support for career-development contexts.
