Hello! I’m Jiaan Wang (王佳安). I am currently a NLP researcher at miHoYo (米哈游) in Shanghai. Previously, I obtained my Master and Bachelor degrees in Computer Science at Soochow University under the supervision of Prof. Zhixu Li (now at Fudan University) in 2020 and 2023 respectively. I also collaborated closely with Dr. Fandong Meng (from WeChat AI), Dr. Jiarong Xu (from Fudan University) and Yunlong Liang (from Beijing Jiaotong University).

My primary research interests lie in Natural Language Processing and Information Systems. I am particularly interested in various Natural Language Generation tasks (such as abstractive summarization, dialogue generation and story generation).

My UID in Honkai: Star Rail (《崩坏：星穹铁道》) is 100953266.
