đź‘‹ About Me
Hi, I am Zijin Hong, currently a final-year undergraduate student pursuing a dual bachelor’s degree in Applied Mathematics with Mathematics at Jinan University (JNU) and the University of Birmingham (UoB). I’m supervised by Prof. Feiran Huang in JNU and work closely with Prof. Xiao Huang and Dr. Hao Chen at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU).
My current research interests include large language models and their applications, information extraction, and code (SQL) generation. During my free time, I enjoy customizing mechanical keyboards and playing video games. Please feel free to reach me out!
