Biography
I’m a PhD student at School of EECS, The University of Queensland (UQ), supervised by Prof. Hongzhi Yin and A/Prof. Tong Chen. Previously, from July to September 2024, I did a research internship at Tsinghua University, working under the guidance of Dr. Chen Gao. In June 2024, I completed my master’s degree at Chongqing University, under the supervision of Prof. Junhao Wen.
My research interests mainly include:
- Sequential Recommendation / Session-based Recommendation
- LLM-based Recommendation
- Generative Recommendation
- Shilling Attack
News
Our survey on LLM-empowered agents for recommendation and search has been accepted by ACM TOIS.
We released a new paper on Semantic IDs in Generative Recommendation (An Empirical Study).
We released a new paper on shilling attacks in recommender systems.
We released a new survey on LLM agents for information retrieval.
