Hey! I’m Li Zhou, an NLP enthusiast and explorer🤗.

I’m currently a Postdoc research fellow at CUHK-Shenzhen, working with Prof. Haizhou Li. I received my PhD degree from UESTC in June 2024, supervised by Prof. Wenyu Chen. During my PhD journey, I visited the CoAStaL NLP group in the University of Copenhagen (2022-2023), supervised by Prof. Daniel Hershcovich and working with the rest of the team.

My research interest focuses on cultural knowledge probing and enhancing, cross-cultural and multi-lingual transfer learning, language models evaluation, relation extraction, graph meaning representation of language, and graph neural networks.

I enjoy taking on new challenges in NLP. It allows me to learn, grow, and enhance my research abilities. I also love working with different NLP researchers to spark creativity and new perspectives. If you find my research intriguing or if it fits your project’s needs, please feel free to reach out to me.
