Hi, I’m Zhaowei Wang (Chinese: 王昭为), also known as James. I’m currently a visiting scholar at Edinburgh NLP, working with Prof. Mark Steedman. I’m pursuing my PhD in the Department of CSE at HKUST, supervised by Prof. Yangqiu Song. I received my MPhil degree in the Department in CSE from HKUST in August 2023.
My research interests span a variety of tasks about reasoning, including planning, causal inference, abstraction, code for reasoning, and embodied AI. Primarily, I use cognitive approaches to build reasoning systems based on LLMs. I am fortunate to collaborate closely with Dr. Hongming Zhang at Tencent AI Lab, Seattle.
