I am Weihao Zeng, an incoming PhD student supervised by Prof. Junxian He at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology starting in the fall of 2025. My research interests primarily focus on large language model alignment, encompassing SFT data engineering and exploration of model reasoning capabilities. Previously, I focused on task-oriented dialogue systems, including dialogue pre-training. I have published several papers at NLP conferences such as ACL, ICLR, SIGIR, EMNLP, and NAACL.
