Life is but about dream.
I am Zhaowei Wang (王昭为). You can also call me James. I’m a PhD student at the Department of CSE, HKUST, supervised by Prof. Yangqiu Song. I got my MPhil degree at CSE, HKUST, in August 2023. Before that, I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science from Harbin Institute of Technology in June 2020.
My research interest is event understanding and reasoning in NLP. 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, and Dr. Xin Liu at Amazon Search, Palo Alto.
