Hi, my name is Wei Liu (刘威). Currently, I am a final-year graduate student at ShanghaiTech University, advised by Prof. Kewei Tu. I am also an incoming PhD at HKUST NLP, supervised by Prof. Junxian He.

I am focusing on natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML).

To be more specific, my research interests lie in:

  • Efficiency in Large Language Models (LLMs): Enhancing efficiency in training, inference, and handling long-range scenarios for Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): Explorations of the emergent capabilities and applications in complex scenarios.
  • Structured Predictions: Parsing and application of parsing algorithm in downstream tasks.
  • Deep Generative Models: Deep Latent-variable models.
