Yinghao Li
I’m a Ph.D. student majored in Machine Learning @ Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Chao Zhang and Dr. Le Song.
My research interest covers
- Information Extraction
- Effective and efficient way of fine-tuning and using large language models to retrieve structured information from free-formed documents;
- Using LLMs as pseudo dataset generator to supervise the training of smaller task-specific labelers, such as BERT;
- Weakly-supervised named entity recognision and text classificatio with multiple noisy labeling functions [Conditional Hidden Markov Model (CHMM). 2021, Sparse CHMM. 2022, Wrench. 2021, Ren et al. 2020];
- HTML information extraction through Transformer-based DOM node classifier [TrENC. 2023];
- Rule-based molecular property extractor [post, Toland et al. 2023].
- LLM Reasoning
- Investigating the source of reasoning ability of LLM: is it intrinsic or a simple mimic of training data? [Minesweeper. 2023].
- Uncertainty Estimation
- Benchmarking the uncertainty quantification methods for large modecular representation models on molecular property prediction [MUBen].
- Text Generation
- Generate paraphrases under the syntactic guidance of constituency parsing tags [Li et al. 2020].
I got my Master degree from Georgia Tech, School of ECE, where I worked with Prof. Ying Zhang on Radar SCG signal processing and understanding [Li et al. 2020, Xia et al. 2021].
