Zixuan Li

Associate professor at Chinese Academy of Sciences

Hello, I’m Zixuan Li, an associate professor at the Key Lab of Network Data Science and Technology (directed by Prof. Jiafeng Guo), Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Now, I am a visiting postdoctoral research fellow at the NExT Research Center, National University of Singapore (NUS), where I work with Prof. Tat-Seng Chua. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaolong Jin, and obtained my bachelor’s degree from Shandong University in 2016. I am also working closely with Prof. Xueqi Cheng from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Bing Li from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

My research interests include Knowledge Graph and Large Language Model. Recently, I focus on enhancing structured knowledge acquisition using Large Language Models and improving the factuality and truthfulness of Large Language Models by integrating structured knowledge.

Prospective students: I am a Master's supervisor and have one to two Master's student openings this year. I am also recruiting two to three interns. Please contact me via lizixuan@ict.ac.cn.
