About Me
My name is Fangkai Jiao (焦方锴). I am a third-year PhD candidate at Nanyang Technological University and Institute of Infocomm Research (I2R), A*STAR, with A*STAR SINGA Scholarship. I am fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Shafiq Joty, Prof. Nancy F. Chen and Prof. Aixin Sun. Before that, I obtained both my M.Eng. and B.Eng. degree from Shandong University in 2022 and 2019, respecitively, under the supervision of Prof. Liqiang Nie. I also work closely with Dr. Yangyang Guo, Dr. Zhiyang Teng and Zhengyuan Liu. I have interned at CoAI Lab, Tsinghua University, mentored by Prof. Minlie Huang, DAMO Academy, Alibaba-inc, mentored by Dr. Feng Ji and Dr. Feng-Lin Li, and Langboat Technology.
My primary research interest includes self/weak-supervised training and machine reasoning with large language models. I’m also one of the main contributors to PandaLLM project.
I’m on the job market now and would like to communicate with potential opportunities!
