About me

Hi!👋 My name is Zhuowen Liang (梁卓文), I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Data Intelligence and Analytics Lab, Data Science and Analytics Thrust, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology(Guangzhou), advised by Prof. Nan Tang. I received my bachelor degree from School of Computer Science & Engineering, South China University of Technology in 2025. I used to be a research assistant in HKUST-CIVAL group at HKUST(GZ), advised by Prof. Wei Zeng.

My current research lies on Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG), Document Intelligence, and Information Extraction, with an emphasis on transforming large collections of unstructured documents into structured and queryable data. I am also very interested in research fields including Reinforcement Learning, LLM-Based Agent, and Data mining.
