Hello! I’m Jiaan Wang (王佳安). I am currently a NLP researcher at WeChat AI, Tencent in Beijing. Before that, I received B.Eng. and M.S from Soochow University (2016-2023), advised by Prof. Zhixu Li (now at Renmin University of China) and Dr. Fandong Meng (from WeChat AI). I also collaborated closely with Dr. Jiarong Xu (from Fudan University).
My primary research interests lie in the area of Natural Language Processing & Large Language Models with the following research topics:
- Multi-lingual NLP: (1) Multi-lingual summarization, e.g., PISCES (ACL 2023), MM-Sum (ACL 2023), D2TV (EMNLP 2023 Findings). (2) Cross-Lingual Summarization, e.g., CLS Survey (TACL 2022), Translationese in CLS (EMNLP 2023 Findings), ClidSum (EMNLP 2022), Perseus (WSDM 2023). (3) Cross-lingual knowledge editing, e.g., Bi-ZsRE (ACL 2024). (4) Machine translation, e.g., SCD (ACL 2024).
- NLG Evaluation: Is ChatGPT a Good NLG Evaluator? (NewSumm@EMNLP 2023).
- Dialogue Generation: (1) Knowledge-grounded dialogue, e.g., EnCo (AAAI 2024). (2) Emotion support dialogue, e.g., ESC-Eval (EMNLP 2024); (3) Role-Playing dialogue.
- Knowledge Graphs: (1) Multi-modal knowledge graphs, e.g., M2ConceptBase (CIKM 2024), AspectMMKG (CIKM 2023); (2) Temporal knowledge graphs, e.g., MusTQ (ACL 2024 Findings).
- Graph Mining: Graph pre-training, e.g., EmojiGraph (EMNLP 2024), Wild-GAD (KDD 2024), W2PGNN (KDD 2023).
We are hiring several research interns (location: Beijing) about LLM and multilingual NLP. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested.
