Zhenyu ZHANG /

I am a Ph.D. student in Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of Associate Professor Tingwen Liu and Professor Li Guo. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree from Central South University in 2017, advised by Professor Jianxin Wang. Up to now, I have published several papers in the world top conferences such as AAAI, IJCAI, WWW, and won the Best Paper Award of PAKDD 2020.

My research interests lie within the intersection of Natural Language Processing (NLP), Knowledge Graphs (KG) and Information Extraction (IE).
