I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington, under the supervision of Dr. Chengkai Li. My research focuses on social sensing and social media surveillance, leveraging natural language processing, machine learning and LLMs techniques.
My research interests span several areas related to artificial intelligence, including natural language processing, natural language generation, and machine learning. I am particularly interested in developing intelligent systems powered by large language models (LLMs) to address real-world challenges. My recent work explores the use of LLMs for social good, in areas such as automated taxonomy construction, truthfulness stance detection, and cherry-picking detection in news reporting. More broadly, I am enthusiastic about exploring AI solutions that improve information understanding, facilitate knowledge discovery, and contribute to meaningful societal outcomes.
