Yichao duyichao

🎓: I am a ~~first~~ second-year PhD student at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Professor Enhong Chen. Currently, I am working as a research intern at Tencent AI Lab, mentored by Zhirui Zhang. Prior to that, I worked as a research intern in the Language Technology Lab at Alibaba DAMO Academy.
🎯: I am working in the field of NLP & Data Mining. My research interests and past experience can be summarized as follows:
- Pre-trained Language Models: Foundation Model; Multimodal LLM
- Multilingual and Multimodal Translation: End-to-End Speech Translation; Multilingual Neural Machine Translation
- Data mining in healthcare: ICD coding; Extreme Multi-Label Classification
- Knowledge Graph: Entity Linking
