👨‍💻 About Me

Hi! This is Yijie Xu, currently a first-year Ph.D. student in Artificial Intelligence at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Guangzhou, proudly supervised by Prof. Hui Xiong (Fellow of CAAI, CCF, IEEE, AAAI and AAAS). Besides, he also works closely with Prof. Xuming Hu.

His current research interests broadly lie in Natural Language Processing and Data Mining, with a particular focus on Test-time/Self-Evolving Language Models and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG); he also studies how humans and AI collaborate and interact.
