Qingping Yang / 杨清平


I am currently a researcher at Alibaba DAMO Academy (Academy for Discovery, Adventure, Momentum and Outlook). Before that I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Key Laboratory of Intelligent Information Processing, Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT, CAS), advised by Prof. Ping Luo.

My research interest includes LLM (especially in Code Generation), Table Understanding, and Structured Information Extraction.
